Twenty-two years in the U.S. Navy. Served on a warship and had been round the world when I was 17 years old. I've smuggled, run guns, toppled governments, caroused, fought, foot raced, rode wild horses, swaggered and generally behaved badly across the length and breadth of four continents. I have the dust of half a dozen corrupt and coup ready, crumbling, colonial capitals on the heels of my ostrich skin boots right now.
