Aug 1982 - May 1985
Machine gun team leader at Camp Geiger. While there I deployed Oct. 1983 and participated in Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada), then on to Lebanon as Multi-National Force. Upon return I was promoted to Corporal and was transferred to 2nd LAV's when they were new to the Corps 1985 as a short timer (Charlie Co.). After leaving active duty for 90 days I got bored and joined the reserves for 14 years. While a reservist I went to NCO, SNCO & Advanced Courses. I went to mountain warfare Bridgeport CA and Cold Weather Minnesota. I became the Unit SNCOIC of training, received Navy Achievement, Meritorious Service, Marine of the Year and stayed as a Gunny till the MOS was changed in the unit and took early retirement in 1999.
