Bio
I retired in 2014 with 20 years in service. I Spent 12 yrs in Communications but never really cared for it. I changed my MOS to 88M, got stationed at Bragg and went Airborne at age 40. Loved it! I have 5 deployments (to combat zones) I think I know the roads in Iraq almost as well as the states. Retired here at Ft. Bliss and stayed here.
