| Bio: | Bio George Washington Robichaux - Rank: Gunnery Sergeant, USMC, stationed at NAS Key West. Nicknames: goes by “GW." Also called “Georgie” but the only ones who can get away with it are family members of his grandparents’ generation, as he detests the nickname from childhood. Can be called “Gunny” by fellow Marines due to his rank. Character Likeness: Matthew Settle Age 27 (DOB 2/22/81) Ht 5’10” Family: Parents, grandparents, 5 younger siblings. Numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws, nephews, nieces Character bio GW was born in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, the eldest of six children. He grew up in the heart of Cajun country, and speaks with a noticeable Louisiana accent. His family has a long tradition of practicing white magic, mostly by the women. The Robichaux women are known locally for folk healing and protective magic, and GW grew up with knowledge of the supernatural all around him. Because the family clung to the old ways, GW also grew up hearing Cajun French and can speak it fluently. The family also tends to produce musicians, and GW started learning how to play the fiddle as soon as he was big enough to hold one. He mainly plays Cajun and Bluegrass music, but listens to just about any kind of music he can get his hands on. Later he also learned how to play the harmonica, to have something lightweight and compact to play in places where weight and size were critical. As a teenager, GW was something of a wild child, getting into trouble in school and his grades were barely good enough to keep his athletic eligibility in wrestling. After a prank went bad his senior year and he was threatened with a misdemeanor charge, his parents strongly encouraged him to consider the military as a way of getting some purpose and direction in his life. GW enlisted in the Marine Corps his senior year, and shipped out to boot camp at Paris Island a week after graduating High School in 1998. He had urge to get out and see some of the world before settling down and no desire to work in the petroleum industry. The Marines trained him to be an infantryman and he found he enjoyed the camaraderie with his fellow Marines and esprit de corps of the organization. One of the things he particularly enjoyed was the Corps unarmed combat program, and status of black belt when the organization rolled out the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program After seeing extensive combat in tours of both Afghanistan and Iraq, which included being wounded during the battle of Fallujah in 2004, GW had enough of the infantry and transitioned into the military police by the end of 2005. Any ideas he might have had of leaving the Corps and returning to Louisiana permanently disappeared with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and he re-enlisted again. His current thinking is to at a minimum stay in the reserves until he has his 20 years and eligible for retirement pay, but hasn’t ruled out staying on active duty all that time. He arrived in Key West in early 2009.
