Alexis was a "nice guy," Suthametewakul said, though he sometimes carried a gun and would frequently complain about being the victim of discrimination.
Later there were complaints he stole food from the refrigerator, complained about the cat, and the last straw was when he told the police Alexis had put sugar to ruin the gas in his car.

March - April 2012Thai Vacation: Washington Naval Yard gunman Aaron Alexis on holiday in Thailand last year (The identity of the woman with the blurred face is not known)

Indeed, such was Alexis' fascination with Thai culture, Buddhism and Thai people that he traveled to the south east Asian country in March and April of 2012.



According to the UK's Channel 4 News, he spent 45 days in the country and was shown around by Parin Suthamtewakul, a cousin of Nutpisit Suthamtewaku
He spent his time frequenting massage parlors, and grew to like Parin but crushed when she rejected his offer to come and live with him in the United States because the woman 'didn't like black people.' and she had a boyfriend.




Early 2011

Nutpisit Suthamtewakul opened the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant in White Settlement near Fort Worth in 2011.. voluteered at the restaurant in exchange for food and a room in Mr. Suthamtewakul’s house. He played computer games all day, but after he got a job fixing computers he rarely paid and borrowed money, claiming his company withheld his pay.  he bristled when describing his service in the Navy and the benefits he believed had been withheld. "He just felt slighted by what he was getting each month," she said. Alexis was frustrated, she said, that he couldn't contribute more to household bills 

dated a Thai woman and began showing up regularly at Wat Busayadhammavanara, a Buddhist Temple in White Settlement, Tex.a regular at Sunday services, intoning Buddhist chants and staying to meditate afterward. 
 Buddhist temple in Keller, about 20 miles north of Fort Worth, Alexis attended the noon service. planned to become a Buddhist monk, Thairintr said, and was adept at chanting in Thai. "He chanted better than me."

stopped showing up at the Buddhist centre early in 2011, Sirun said. "I didn't think he could be this violent," Sirun said. "I would not have been surprised to hear he had committed suicide. But I didn't think he could commit murder."

January 2011: He was “separated with honor”
 He served primarily in Fort Worth, assigned to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46 from February 2008 to January 2011. From Fox News Jennifer Griffin:  Aaron Alexis applied for an early discharge in 2011 under the Navy’s “early enlisted transition program” which allowed him to discharge early as a way for the Navy to drawdown manpower. His record while serving included “unauthorized absences” and “insubordination” and an overall pattern of “misconduct” but there wasn’t enough to support a “general” or “dishonorable” discharge, according to sources familiar with Alexis’ case.

Alexis told him he was upset with the Navy because 'he thought he never got a promotion because of the color of his skin. He hated his commander'.

Left Navy: kicked out over various incidents including apartment shooting

Alexis worked at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, Texas, from 2007 to 2011, according to information released by the Navy. Official: Navy kicked Aaron Alexis out of the military in 2011 in connection with a 2010 shooting incident.
Somsak asked Why you quit the job with the government?" Somsak said. "He said, 'Somebody doesn't like me."'
"He told me he believed he had superior abilities to his co-workers but he didn't get promoted," he said. "He complained about the rank and file not giving him respect." Alexis felt discriminated against because he was black, he said.

Summer 2010

'He didn't have any American friends,' said Nutpisit Suthamtewakul. 'His only friends were Thais because they were nice to him.'

‘He had a girlfriend in 2010, she was Chinese. She was in the Navy but she didn’t live round here. She lived far away.

Srisan Somsak, a Thai immigrant in Fort Worth, met Alexis at the Wat Busayadhammavanaram Meditation Centre, where Alexis had occasionally shown up for meditation starting in summer of 2010. Alexis said he needed a place to stay and Somsak offered to rent him the two-bedroom white bungalow behind the centre - if he promised not to smoke or drink.Alexis rented the place for $US600 a month, impressed  his tenant studied the Thai language and told him he had visited Thailand.

"No one was injured.''
 the officer knocked on Alexis's door but did not receive a response. He only emerged after the officer called the fire department to get them to forcibly enter the property. "He said that he was trying to clean his gun while cooking and that his hands were slippery," the witer of the report says. "He told me that he began to take the gun apart when his hands slipped and pulled the trigger discharging a round into the ceiling." (Who cleans a loaded gun?) Soon after he was evicted from the apartments.  a lawyer advised the family not to press charges. “How could you prove he did it on purpose when he claimed he was cleaning his gun?” Mr. Rotter said.
