Allen's Story

Military I joined the Army in September of 1981, not knowing anything about the military, all I knew was I had to do something because there were no jobs to speak of in 1981 and I had partied and slept my way through two quarters of college at Ohio University. I went to basic training at Fort Knox with Tollie Woods. (We joined together) We then went to Fort Gordon, Georgia for training to become Radio Teletypewriter Operators. We both went to Germany in 1982 and ran into Edward Allen who was in our graduating class. He was an Army Sharpshooter. Oddly enough, a guy named Mark Price was stationed with me later in 1982 that graduated from Adams two years after we did. I didn't know him in school but he remembered me from school. Tollie and I both went to Fort Hood in 1984 where I became a Sergeant after 2 1/2 years of service. In 1985, Tollie decided that he wanted to get out and move to Houston with his sister. I re-enlisted for another three years and went back to Germany. I stayed in Germany for four years during that rotation. I met a young lady from Columbus and we married in 1989. We were stationed at Fort Gordon from 1990 to 1994 where I worked as an instructor of communication systems. We seperated in 1994 when we both went to Korea. I met my curr...Expand for more
ent and lifetime wife there. She is from Georgia. We married in 1995. We were stationed again at Fort Gordon for three years, where I was a Small Group Leader, instructing Senior Non-commissioned Officers. We went back to Germany in 1998 where I was a Platoon Sergeant and First Sergeant of two Signal Companies. My wife had become a Warrant Officer while at Fort Gordon, but after our first child was born in 1999, we decided that it would be best, given the current world situation that she get out. Which she did in August of 2000. I remained and we returned to Fort Gordon, where I was given the task of starting a new installation and networking company from genesis. After our second child was born I had a big decision to make. I was eligible for promotion to Sergeant Major and had to decided whether I was going to stay in to accept it or retire. After 22 years of service, I decided that it was more important for me to be available for my children and to assist in raising them in the fear and admonition of the Lord; so I retired from the Army on my daughter's first birthday, January 1, 2004. I decided to stay here in the Augusta area and I am currently an instructor at Fort Gordon teaching young soldiers networking, telecommunications systems and computers.
