Alexe Calarasu, Romania

            I was born in Romania on September 6 1981, in a small town on the Danube River in the south-east part of my country at only 50 miles away from the Black Sea. I spent my first 14 years in that town so the base of my academic knowledge has its source back there. After the completion of 8^th grade I enrolled at the navy military high school in Constanta, the biggest Romanian ship yard, and I studied there for two years. Due to a reform of the armed forces that was going on at the time I had to transfer to another high school. For the next two years I attended a different military high school in the middle of the mountains, very close to a group of winter resorts for that category of people with less financial concerns.

 I graduated high school in 2000, and the same year I applied at the Romanian Naval Academy, also in Constanta. In the academy they offered me the chance to come and study here, and after three weeks of testing and almost a year of expectation I got the plane tickets and this is how I got here.

            I get this question a lot so I’m going to try to make it as clear as possible- I am not a spy, I do not speak Russian, or English with a Russian accent(I do have an accent, but it’s not Russian) and Russians are definitely not my favorite people.  In Romania we speak Romanian, not Russian and they are completely different languages.

Now that I made that clear…more about me- I used to have a dog, I love dogs the big ones especially, I am not what you would call an athlete, I like to party a lot, I enjoy a drink or two once in a while, I used to smoke a lot, not that much anymore and I enjoy swimming. (I know everybody hates and fears the swimming classes but swimming is great)

I have three younger sisters (don’t get any ideas, they are very young), two of them are twins, and I missed them a lot.

 After graduation I must return to Romania and complete my ten years assignment.

If any of you have any questions, you’re more than welcomed to stop by my room.(you can look it up in mids)

That’s pretty much it.

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! They’re going to get it so bad! (ND too)
