I’m going to check your stuff out. I honestly didn’t know you had a channel. I do have a question. Do you get see sick, and if so, how do you think that would have affected you in the Navy, had you gone in. Because you don’t seem to do good when spinning. What did you want to do in the Navy? Filming?

[@User-pf6wg]

Roscoe next 🫣

[@topher208regulator]

You did an awesome job bud!

[@ellapopwell]
