Carlos's Story
Life
Well, as many of young teens, I too joined the Military. I took a semester at Tri-c but, I couldnÂt wait to get out my parents house so, I joined the Marine Corps. I have traveled quite a bit and seem some grate places while in the Corps. My first stop was in K-bay Hawaii, 3 years in Hawaii, I can't complain about that. Beautiful beaches, scenery and great party life. After Hawaii I went to San Diego, California. That was another great place to be, I like San Diego. My next stop after my first Deployment to Iraq was Iwakuni Japan, a truly well hidden secret of the Marine Corps; I got there in Sept 2003 and left in Sept 2004. I spent a total of 5 months in mainland ...Expand for more
Japan where I visited some of the main cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima and a few others). The rest of the Year I spent it on the road; I lived nearly 3 Months in Thailand, 2 1/2 months in Australia, small deployments to Okinawa and about month in Guam. I can't complain about my 9 years in the Corps I have had my ups and downs but, for sure more ups than downs. I'm currently station in 29 palms California, not the greatest place on earth but, I'm still in California which is great. Right now I'm about to complete my second Deployment to Iraq. I volunteer to be here, can you believe that? I didn't mind when they ask me If, I wanted to come. I'm always up for an adventure.
