Keith's Story
Life
After high school, I messed around with music for a couple of years and then went to college. I decided that getting married was a better deal than staying in school (turned out I was right), so I dropped out and tied the knot with a wonderful girl. Tanya and I have been married for almost nineteen years and have two really cool kids.
Since we've been stationed in Germany, we travel around Europe as much as possible. We are seriously thinking of staying in Germany or Italy after I get out of the Army.
Military
I joined the Army about eight years ago (it's a long story...) and became a scout. After a couple of years in Louisiana (Ft. Polk), I was moved to Germany, where I've been for nearly six years.
I went to Iraq the first time right after the invasion and spent elev...Expand for more
en relatively quiet months in Baghdad. Then my unit had it's tour extended and we spent another four months fighting the Mahdi Militia in al Kut, an Najaf and Kufa. There were a few very close calls but I came home without a scratch.
I am halfway through my second tour, this time in northern Iraq. We spent a few months doing ambushes in the mountains west of Mosul, then moved into the city of Tal Afar. There has been a little excitement (my windshield was shot out by a sniper and my HMMWV was blown up by an IED - the ubiquitous "roadside bombs"), but Tal Afar is relatively peaceful. We are currently training Iraqi policemen. It is pretty rewarding and not nearly as bad as the news portrays it. I am fortunate to have a terrific bunch of young men and they are doing great things here.
