Military Experiences
Aug 1979 - Sep 1980
MP Driver
Immeidiatly after graduating High School, I enlistrd into the US Army. I scored high enough on the ASFABs to enter commissioned, but didn't want management. Much rather earn my rank and skills as the NCO predecessors before me did.I chose MP, as I don't prefer bordom & had been sitting behind one desk or another for the previous 12 yrs. Not lettin' the recruiters pull a slicky boy move on my young ass, I made it into Jump school And graduated in June;then continued on to 'Tab" over though Camp's Darby and Merrill,Rudder,& Rogers. Where I developed an additude on life and goin' about it,hard.
