Bio
I was in service from 2005 to 2014 in the Army Infantry. I left on a medical discharge because of an injury during combat operations. I have been deployed twice, once in Iraq and once in Afghanistan. I'm here looking for good work and not just a custodial/janitor/security guard work for low pay. I’m also not looking for the highest paying job, but more into something that fits my background.
