Bio 

Joined the Army via the Delayed Entry Program at age 17, I always knew I wanted to be a soldier. I secured an Infantry Airborne Ranger contract and shipped out to Ft. Benning, GA. I wound up getting a medical discharge due to a knee injury on a jump. Went to college and got a RN degree and have been working as a Registered Nurse for many years now. I miss the Army every day.

Military Experiences

SAW gunner in a line infantry squad, eventually moved to the BN assistant Ammunition NCO. Once I got word that I was going to be medically discharged against my will, my 1st Sgt moved me to HHC Company and had me work in the records room and I basically just started attending college full time. I showed up for PT formation in the morning and then attended classes. During my time off from class I reported to the company and worked for my last 6 months of service.
