After my wife and I realizing that I we can do better with our lives, we decided to sell everything and get started again building new lives.

I started my new job in a warehouse and signed up with Hopwood Hall College college to  learn English and ICT.

The summer ended and she had to go back to England however she promised me that she will be back if couple of weeks.
She did keep her promise and after a long conversation we both agreed to go to England for a year, save up money, come back to Greece and open a shoe shop.

As we planed, a year later, we had enough money to open our own shoe shop.  and we got engaged.

Two years later we got married in a beautiful church in Glyfada/Athens:

Now I have completed my National service, I don't want to go back to education as I am a MAN!
Time to look for work, and women. "As you do".
I spend a year having lots of fun moving from place to place and from one job to another until I end up in a Greek Island in the summer of 1998 to work as a Door-Man in a nightclub.
Great time free alcohol, lots of women, I was 18.5 years old and I was in heaven :-).
Then I met the love of my life (my current wife). An English girl who had everything I needed from a girl "the looks, funny, etc". She was and still is the perfect girl for me.

First day in the Army 22/01/1996 and while I was receiving everything I need to have (clothes, weapons, etc), I saw many soldiers running and getting ready for a war with the Turks. I thought that this was just a training session however I was wrong, it will real. the link below explains what was really happening:

What a great start I thought - ....Not!!!
Anyway, other powers got involved and they stopped this war before was even started (lucky me :-) I thought.).
After 2 months I completed my training and moved to a different location (from "Lamia" to "Naousa" where I became a master chef and I was cooking daily for just over 300 soldiers.

About 5 months later moved to another place called "Gianitsa" and 7 months later moved to a place called "Larisa" (the birth place of "Achilles" the Greek warrior who was in the Trojan War) where I completed my 18 months of National service.

As I was 17 years old and still not old enough to join the army without my parents consent, I managed to convince my parents to sign the papers for me.
My parents didn't like my idea however after making a promise that I will continue my studies once I had completed my National Service responsibilities they agreed and signed the papers.

I wasn't the best student but my favorite subject was maths.
Once I finished high-school, I progressed to college and successfully completed my first year there.
When I started the second year, my best friend convinced me to drop college and join the army (in Greece is compulsory to complete 18 months National service).

My only passion was to grow up and open my own shoe shop which will give me the opportunity to repair and sell shoes.
