Gene's Story
I don't expect everyone to remember me, but those who really knew the wild child I was should. I havn't changed much. Still loud, still speaking my mind even when I should shut up, and still the down to earth guy when it was time to be serious. Here is a quick...Hmmm...summary of my life so far. Never graduated HS. I didn't see that one comming. Went to jail at 16, got out at 17 and lived on my own in my own apartment. I went back to school at Gilbert High. Got into some drugs, got kicked out and ended up doing meth for 3 years, as I bounced from house to house and job to job. Finally I had enough, I moved to Alaska to stay with my dad. Hated it there. So I was walkingin the mall there one day and I saw a sign...and a recruiting station. The Army paid for my GED and set me up with everything I needed to do what I wanted to do with my life.

urvived 15 months in Iraq and I am getting ready to go do a short 12 month tour in Afghanistan. It was something I had always wanted to do, the military. Sometimes you just feel like you were born to do something, right? That is how I felt. Now I sit here at Ft. Campbell in Kentucky, hating the "politics" and tedious attention to detail fom my leadership that is not really logical or relavent. And loving my job, who I am, what I am, and what I do. People say we are heros and we are brave, and I am not going to say we are or aren't. All I can say about that is,I have a job, a duty. I do that job to the best of my ability. People say that medics are the angels of the battle field. I am not. I am far from an angel. I am just another guy who would do anything to make sure his friends...his family, survive and make it home alive. When you think about it, who wouldn't help out their own brothers?
