    Interview with Jamison Hunter

    Tell us about yourself.
    What are you like?
    I’m a soldier, first and foremost; A helicopter pilot, husband,
    and father. I think I’m a pretty easy-going man. I love my country and my family.
    I like to watch football, sit by a warm fire in the evening and snuggle with my
    lady, or sit on the front porch and stargaze while we rock and talk about our day.
    What do you think is your
    strongest point?
    I’m stubborn and single minded, if I want something I never give
    up.
    Do you have a weakness?
    (If so, what do you think it is? What does your lover think it is? What does your
    enemy think it is?)
    We all have weaknesses. I’m certainly not immune. Pride, I guess
    would be the one that comes to mind. Sometimes I let it get in the way of my heart.
    What drives you to do
    the things you do? What makes you want to be the “good guy?”
    Honor. I was raised to believe in honoring your country, your
    parents and yourself.
    What’s your favorite guilty
    pleasure?
    Charlie (smirk) and Turtle Cheesecake; I just can’t turn it down.
    If you didn’t know how
    old you were how old would you be?
    I’d be my own age, 40. I’m very happy with where I am in my life.
    Everything I’ve been through and seen has made me who I am. I have no desire to
    go back and do it over again.
    A biography has been written
    about you. What do you think the title would be in six words or less?
    Heart of a Soldier
    If money were not an object,
    where would you most like to live?
    Hmm… Hawaii.
    I’d love to have a view of the ocean, no ice and snow and Charlie in a bikini.
    What song would best describe
    your life?
    God Bless The USA
    If you were a tool, what
    would people use you to do?
    Build houses. Nothing is as important as a home.
    Picture yourself as a
    store. Considering your personality and lifestyle, what type of products would be
    sold there?
    Sporting goods.
    As a child, what was your
    favorite thing about school?
    Recess.
    Tell us an embarrassing
    story that has to do with a pet. If you have no pets, a story about a significant
    other will do.
    Charlie and I got a puppy for Christmas. A little black lab.
    When we first brought him home he was so excited, running all over and then he stopped
    and peed on my foot!
    If you came with a warning
    label, what would it say?
    Do not approach before morning coffee.

    Please Fill in the Blanks (as Jamison Hunter)

    I love pizza with everything.
    I’m always ready for action.
    When I’m alone, I pogo.
    You’d never be able to tell, but I like chick flicks.
    If I had a halo it would be red, white, and blue.
    If I could sing I’d serenade Charlie.
    I can never go spelunking, because I hate tight places.
