->''[[{{BadassBoast}} "Great joy was expressed at our arrival and great things [are] expected from the Virginians and of consequence we must go through great fatigue and danger."]]''
-->-- '''Captain John Chilton, 3rd Virginia Regt, 1776'''

Hotel Kilo is an amateur writer, college student, [[SincerityMode totally legitimate DJ]] [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative on WCDE 90.3 FM]], and all around strange fellow from the western part of the United States' Commonwealth of Virginia. A hardcore reader of TV Tropes [[strike: for not even a year]] since he started college, [[TVtropeswillruinyourlife it has quickly]] [[CaptainObvious ruined his life]]. That was about the same time he began to be seriously interested in anime and manga (but more so manga since he is notoriously cheap and prefers reading anyway). A life long history nut who can name all the US Presidents (first and last names) in order as well as all the states and capitals (and used to possess the ability to name every county in his home state), he plans to make it his career by gaining employment with the United States Park Service as a ranger or historian. While his primary interest is in military (see below) history, his interests do tend to stray anywhere vaguely interesting. Other fields include industrial, medical, architectural, aviation, engineering, and railroad history. Loves abandoned/decaying buildings and building models of obscure aircraft. Hotel Kilo has been known to express interest in such things as mysterious craft and the supernatural, particularly those related to his semi-native West Virginia; i.e. the Flatwoods Monster and Mothman.

A longtime Philadelphia Flyers fan, he is [[strike:still mourning their loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2010 Stanley Cup, but congratulates the 'hawks for winning]] totally over all that. Delighted to see the Bullies at the top of the Eastern Confrence. There remains nothing but ill will directed to the [[UnstoppableRage Pittsburgh]] [[BerserkButton Penguins.]] Watches a lot of hockey regardless of living in the Pittsburgh television market, including the [=WHL=]. Is an admittedly hopeless yuri fanboy... not the same way all guys are, he promises. Other supported teams include West Virginia University athletics, trumped by the University of Iowa Hawkeyes in football, Los Angeles Dodgers (dating back to an age when he thought they were still in Brooklyn), Washington Nationals, and San Diego SUPERCHARGERS.

Not particularly well known, he ''is'' an amateur writer whose work (and some wargaming supplies) can be found here: [[http://cptlfrghtr.deviantart.com/]]. Most of his writing there centers on an obscure OS-tan, some sci-fi material can be found as well. An Eagle Scout, he started as a Tiger in Cub Scouts and spent the next twelve years working his way to the top leaving him a cynical son of a bitch. Hotel Kilo first started using the internet because none of his friends were nerdy enough to be into free form [=RPGs=] and the like. He’s never looked back. Has too much time that extends to an obsession with the expanded universes of most series he watches (even if such a thing doesn't exist). Studies show that Hotel Kilo is a pretty chill guy who's more then willing to get along with/accept all sorts of folks. Except those who get HISTORICAL FACTS wrong.

May be troping too much now that he has looked up maritime case law to make an edit. However, his random interaction oriented mood swings may take him on and off the site. One of these days he'll get an IRC client that doesn't require his currently down Linux laptop and get back to #troper and #nightmarefuel. A better way to find him is by sending him a [=PM=] and asking for his AIM/YIM screename.

Recently discovered the glory that is MST3K as well as [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses TGWTG]]; specifically [[AtopTheFourthWall AT4W]], NostalgiaCritic, NostalgiaChick, LordKat, some CinemaSnob, and any time Paw or [[PushingUpRoses Sarah]] do a LetsPlay. Is also watching a weekly anime series for the [[strike:first]] [[StrikeWitches second]] time, after hearing whispers of the [=WTF=] inducing PuellaMagiMadokaMagica. He has decided it may be one of the best thing's ever.

The username Hotel Kilo comes from the NATO phonetic alphabet, and is taken from a broadcast from the West German BND[[hottip:* :Bundesnachrichtendienst]] numbers stations G16.

@/HotelKilo worked for the National Park Service at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in the Living History branch throughout the summer of 2011.
