6 days after I turned 18 I shiped off to Ft. Benning Ga. to basic training, Infantry. Lived in Panama City, Panama for 2 years. Got out and worked among the fine establishments noted above. After 9/11 I joined the Mass Army National Guard as a Combat Engineer (Demolitions rock!!! I love C4!!!!) I got re-classed to pick up a heavy equipment skill-set for my 2010 deployment to Afghanistan to clear minefields (I would add the word land in front but my buddy found a sea mine burried on his site!!!!). Came back with 10 and 10 thankfully! I have the 2 most beautiful children in the world!!! And an amazing woman for a wife who stuck by me through the adversity of me being away doing what I did when most wouldn't have the inner strength to endure.
