I worry about saying anything. So many people seem ready to pounce and say you were not. But I want to get the word out there. Only found one guy so far from the old outfit. Back then they called me Yogi Bear.

24+ years of combined service and counting

1988-1993: I was enlisted in the NH and then transferred to the VT National Guard. I was a 13B (Cannon Crewmember)

I went on active duty in 1993 after college and commissioned as a 2LT in the Army and my branch is Field Artillery (13A).

Duty stations

Korea, FT Bragg, FT Campbell, FT Irwin, Indianapolis, IN, FT Drum, Shaw AFB, and I'm currently at FT Belvoir. Several combat deployments, various TDYs that have sent me to all corners of the world, and a CONUS deployment to fight fires. It's been good to me.

Thanks to all who have served (families included!).

My dad, his brother, and my mother's brother were all in the Air Force. So me, I went into USAF delayed enlistment at 17 years old and into basic training a month after high school graduation. I spent 12 years working in communications on active duty. While on active duty, I became interested in law enforcement and eventually became a reserve sheriff's deputy, then a reserve police officer.

I got off of active duty and went into the active reserves where I was assigned to a USAFR Red Horse (combat engineers) squadron. I spent six years in Red Horse before I took an assignment as a reservist assigned to an active duty higher headquarters directorate in Hawaii. I was assigned there for six years before I retired in 2010. All told, 12 years active, 12 years active reserves, 5 years part time law enforcement.

Nowdays I work for a government contractor. I'm currently working at the Edson Range at Camp Pendleton, CA. I love the military and have been either in it, or around it, since I was 17. I've strived to do my best by all those I served with, and to help support those that are serving now.

I jumped into Omar Torrijos Int'l Airport while people were shooting at me. I got a star on my jump wings for it. I was 18 years of age at the time. I policed up my chute on the DZ with my M9 drawn then retrieved my M60 from the 1950 weapons container case. I had a 50 round teaser belt in it but I quickly swapped it out with a 200 round belt from my ruck. Shots and tracers were still being passed around so I kept low. I ran into two other paratroopers and one ranger enroute to my RP. We linked up and found our way to the main strip.

But I guess I'm being long winded... It was an exciting night
