Jason Everman's story has been floating around for a few years. It's a bit of a human interest piece but it's also an interesting story if you haven't seen it. Life takes some folks strange places.

Wow that was really interesting, thanks for posting!

I bet all the kids that did undergraduate courses with him had no idea they were studying with a former member of Nirvana/Soundgarden [and sadly, these days they probably wouldn't have cared]

I just posted a brief story about him on FB this morning... talk about a real American hero... From shredding on the guitar to mowing down Taliban. From this to this:

Good shit.

That's an Urban Myth. But I assume you meant that since you wrote JK.

I thought it was pretty cool too! Dude wore a Motorhead shirt in Afghanistan- that's like the Czech soldier we frequented the gym with on our FOB who always wore an AC/DC shirt- he loved "American rock muzik" (he pronounced it 'moo-sik')

Great read and great story. I'd drink beers with this dude. I know what you mean Ronin. 4 years in Europe, I saw it all.
