Bio 

I joined in Feb. 1986 and went through basic at Ft. Knox. I attended AIT at Ft. Ben Harrison, IN and went to Ft. Huachuca until Feb. 1990.

In 2000 I left the Engineers due to a bad back and joined the newly formed 727th Trans (PLS) at Elk Point, SD and deployed to Iraq in 2003. I retired in 2007.
