Bio
Joined Army at 17. Spent eight years active. Joined Reserves for five years. Got a divorce and custody of my two boys, 8 & 10 years old. It was family or Army and family won. Wanted to go back in a few years later when they were older, but my health wouldn’t let me. Ended up 100% disabled and now VA takes good care of me.
