Your most Glorious Achievement...

[Devastatin Dave]

I put this in the Backroom because God only knows what the answers will be...

Well, I never won a spelling bee!!! My most glorious achievement wasn't during my military career, even though i have a couple of commendation medals and other awards or my current service to the government, i remember back in junior high and got the most improved award in my Chorus class. I've always been a small kid, never did sports or have ever really done anything exceptional in my life considering my lack of skills of any kind and my ability to make light of about anything that life throws at me. Well, when i was in 8th grade my zits had cleared up a bit and I was kind of a punky goth kid before goth was cool (as if it was ever cool, this was during the grunge days). Anyhoo, I had joined the school's chorus for an easy A. I had been in orchestra and played the violin till the 7th grade so i could read music a bit. I was in some bands playing bass as well. Well, at the end of the year they handed out awards. When they announced my name, the auditorium erupted with cheers and clapping. It was very moving to me. I was the kid that could be friends with both the popular and unpopular crowd. Believe it or not, I'm likable in real life and even more so back then. I believe everyone has a moment in their life where they hit the game winning homerun, kicked a muggers ass, or said something profound that got someone on the right track. What's your's?

Yes, this will probably another pathetic attempt to stoke my ego like a 2 dollar crack whore, but I couldn't think of a greater group of folks or more deserving to share this little highlight in my life or atleast waste a good 2 minutes that you'll never get back!!! Thanks

Hmm well, when I was younger we had a soccer game against the best team in the league (undefeated). They had a reputation for playing rough with lots of kicking and toe stamping. A teamate was running the ball towards the goal with me close behind. We were close to the goal outside the box but there were about 4 defenders in the way. I called out to him, he passed it to me and I popped it up over the defenders and it dropped right in the goal. It was a good shot but there was no way it should have got past the goalie, but hey we won 1-0 and the other teams coach made them run laps around the field after the game.

my biggest high moment is when this kid who used to go around the school punching people for no aparrent reason and acting like a right chav started on one of my friends and, even though i am not usually the violent type, i pushed him then he swung for me but it hit my arm and i hit him with a huge right handed punch... man, everyone was cheering for me it was great
there is a less violent one when we were playing football (soccor) and it was against the other 'best' team in the league and it would basically decide who would go top and i managed to clear the ball off the line (i'm a defender) and we won 2-1
