Bio
I started my Army career in February of 1996 and was medically retired in November of 2011 after a successful battle with cancer. After being retired I worked for Home Depot and Autozone only to realize my disability would prevent me from maintaining gainful employment. I am currently rated at 100% disabled through the VA and go to school to pass the time using my GI Bill.
