Gamer Spotlight: trixie360 interviews Y T 1775
A note from Trixie:
This month I’ll be featuring gamers who are serving or are veterans of the U.S. military. Memorial Day isn’t just a day to fire up the grill and bust out your white shoes. Take a moment to remember those who gave their lives so you could enjoy that burger in freedom. Do it NOW!
He’s a gamer and Marine Weather Forecaster Stationed in Camp Pendleton, California. Let’s go to the Doppler with Y T 1775 !
trixie360: What's the story behind your gamertag?
Y T 1775: Well I am known as Whitey mainly for my last name and I am really pale. I was born in Elmendorf AFB, Alaska after all. Well I wanted Whitey but I couldn't so I went with (Y T) and 1775 is the year the Marine Corps was "Born".

Whoa...I always get Deja Vu when I read my brothers'-in-arms Spotlights. I can't help but feel that we all almost always like the same things, sometimes to a fault. Maybe we're all just built a certain way, if we're hard enough to be Marines, its like a legend. From another time, we began as Demon Puppies... =PAnonymous
