In other words I trained new soldiers just coming into the Army. After 3 years I was reassigned to the 10th Mountain Division which was also at Benning. While there I learned to repel & jump out of airplanes. This is where I meet and married my 1st wife. After a year I was once againreassigned & divorced. This time I went to Ft. Hood, Texas. I was assigned to 3/41 Infantry Brigade & hated it. This is also where I meet and married my 2nd and current wife.

In 1992 I went to Saudi Arabia to serve in the 1st Gulf War. I was there until May 1993. After 6years with the 82nd Airborne I was assigned to the 7th Special Forces(Airborne)and was there for 2 years. I have 139 jumps and the last one literally broke my back. After I broke my back I was reassigned to Germany once again. This time I was with an Armor unit. I had to have my back surgically repaired in 1997. I now have metal rods on both sides of my spine from the base of my neck down to my waist. I made E-7 in 1998 and was Medically Retired in 1999. I returned to Fayetteville, N.C. and have been here since.
