Looking back, I enjoyed my last duty at Fort Hood Texas from 2012-2014 in the UNITED STATES ARMY. The Great Place challenge me with a lot of field time and a deployment to Afghanistan. I am so glad, I served with the 1st Cavalry Division(1st team) and fellow Troopers wearing/earning the Silver/Golden Spurs with humility and pride.

My last assignment was in the IRR. I'd left the Army Reserve TPU because I could no longer support my Commander and I wasn't going to let the unit see strife in the leadership so I left. In the IRR I found a job online with the World Basic Information Library, one of the best kept secrets of the Reserve there is. In this program you are assigned a country. You then go online and gather information, download it, and transfer this information to the Library through your leadership. It is a fantastic way to keep getting good years in the Reserve. I maintained a DA-1594 of all my activities and collected 4 retirement points a month. I was assigned Lebanon and I really learned a lot. It's amazing all the intel one can get online. I received my final NCOER from this unit and they gave me an AAM for my work.

I didn't like my last assignment. The command was toxic, and I was in a total personality/job-type mismatch (I'm a talker and I was forced to be segregated in a tiny office, away from everyone...). I was also in a Geo-bachelor situation. It was a long, LONG two years.

MCPO (Join to see) roger that, I can relate being a long two years. I was displaced for 18 months before I retired from my family. There was some dark days in my last two years as well.

AIT committee group Fort Polk La 1967-1968 forced me to become an instructor with my fear of public speaking being formost found that with the help of my fellow instructors was probably one of the most fulfilling time of my life,note if my wife ever reads this it was our marriage of course!
