Bio
Joined the Army at the Age of 17 while I was still in High School. I joined because I couldn't think of any other job more honorable and noble than being in the Army. I decided to be a Scout because it was the best of both worlds; both sneaky and combative. I knew it would be tough, but exciting. And I felt a connection with the history and traditions of the Cavalry.
