Bio

When I joined in, the Army motto was "Be all you can be". It was more than a motto. For me, it was about who I want to be ...to be successful while serving this God-given country. It takes pride to be successful. Sweat, blood, and tears while serving, and comes with sacrifice but rewarding for most of us. Long term result is retirement with benefits. I thank God for everything for 29.5 years service.
