US Navy 96-01
Electronics Technician
Boot camp in Great Lakes, IL
Was stationed in Corpus Cristi, TX on a minesweeper and then in San Diego on a Cruiser.
During all of that I did two six month tours in the Persian Gulf, went to Alaska and almost every port in Mexico.
Not bad but was so glad when it was over. |

I was in the Army, active for 2 1/2 years (long story)...
I have 72 soldiers in my family, one AF, one Army (me) and all the others are active or retired Marines. Say a prayer for my 13 cousins and one uncle that are currently serving over seas.
