Bio
Born & raised in NE Iowa, joined Army a month after HS. Had a great time the 12yrs I was Active. Problem was PCS'd too often, 9 units in 12yrs. Would have did 20 if I could have stayed @ Bragg. After ETS, moved to TX, got into Telecom, loving it. Have 2 boys on their own. Oldest is pending his OBC, then to TX NG as Butter Bar via ROTC @ UNT (University of North TX)
