Sucked?! I'll try again. I am not comfortable about posting my resume and speaking of myself in any forum. Goes against my up bring of being quite and doing my job with rewards to follow at the appropriate time and place.
Joined May 22, 1979. Watched too may John Wayne movies and far too many Walter Croncike evening broadcasts about Vietnam detailing battles and American lives lost while growing up and joined as soon as I could at 17 YO., directly into SF. Basic training at Fort Benning, AIT Benning & Gordan
USAIMA (JFK) - 1980 - 1982 Graduated SFQC Class 1-81
1-10th SFG(A) 1982 - 1985. Bad Tolz, Germany - Met some legends and great friends, CSM Don Purdy, CSM Mike Kelso, CSM Charlie Raper, (RIP) SFC Eloy Rodriguez and my roomy, partner in crime 1SG Sean Kelly. KIA 1st marriage.
4th & 7th RTB 1985-1988. Fort Benning & Dugway Proving Grounds, UT.
3-5th SFG(A) 1988 - 1991. Fort Campbell, KY. Tired of MTTs to ungrateful third world nations, just to see millions of US dollars siphoned off into corrupt political officials pockets. Spoke to wife (2nd) about moving on in SOCOM and she ruled out Delta after a long discussion. Applied for flight school as a SFC.
Flight School – 1991
1-223rd Avn Regt. 1992 – 1995. Fort Rucker, AL
Combat Maneuver Training Center, 7th Army 1995 – 1998. Hohenfels Germany
498th Medical Company (Air Ambulance) 1998-2001. Fort Benning, GA

1-52nd Avn Regt 2004-2005. (K-16) South Korea.
4-6 Air Cavalry Squadron 2004- Present. Fort Lewis, WA
Now I am just an old cantankerous CW4 looking to retire in 20 months and leave this stuff to the young guys, because my back kills me and I can no longer do it myself! There must be life after the Army, I just have to figure it out.

The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity – even under the most difficult circumstances – to add a deeper meaning to his life.
