The one constant that I had was that no matter wear I ended up as long as I had the coolest joes with me, I knew I'd be fine. Later in life, my dad retired, i went to the same college as him and walked on and played some football and attempted to "grow up" (their is no such thing and if their is there is no reason to so). Now once again, joes are once against forced thankfully back in my life. I just got back from a recent deployment with the airforce myself and I love my joes more than ever. I hate that fact that they lost popularity in the 90's and lost the spotlight. I have tubs full of all my classic joes in the basement but I have latched onto a personal mission to make a modern force of joes that represent our current armed forces into today's day and age. I enjoy the new scuplts and accessories: the newer joes like RAH and the 25th line, and I love to integrate the new style into the old. I just found this site last night and I had no idea this world existed. I was just making my own personal army of detailed troops and creating my own fun scenes that I regretfully made my girlfriend pretend she was intrested in (hehe!). But I think its really enjoyable to share your vision and meet people with the same niche of intrest. I don't have to throw my joes in the closet anymore when my former wildcat football teammates come over; I think dios are extremely fun and a joy to share, thanks for having me.
