Derrick's Story
Life
My life has been going good so far. Back in school everyone knew me as the guy who either could talk to you about something or the guy that you could borrow a CD from in class. I've changed a ton since I left that place. Went into the navy and went to Iraq twice. It was a great experiance for me being in the military. Changed how I look at life and what I want out of it. Right now I just got out of being in the navy, sort of, still have 2 years left that they can call me back. I was stationed in Norfolk, va and then once I got done with it, June of '05, I moved up to DC and got a job installing computers at military bases. Did that for 6 months then found my current job doing the same thing just with a little bit more relaxed.
College
Haven't been yet but going to start the fall of '07. My goal is a Masters as a Network Security Administrator and an associates in Psychology.

ech job installing computers on military bases. That got a bit redundant and left for my current job sitting in a cube and working as a government contractor installing any type of computer equipment and software for government personal. Right now during down time I study for my Network + that I'm taking soon and getting ready to go to collage.
Military
Joined about 2 months after graduation and was in boot camp July of 01. Got done with that went to my school and got on my first ship in feb. of 02. After that the ship made a couple stops and also did 2 tours over to Iraq. My first stop was puerto rico for 4 days. Everything there was beautiful and that is also where I had my first "legal" drink since I wasn't 21 yet. Next they went to Iraq and was out for 6 months and only hit 2 ports the whole time. Bahrain, small island not much use other than stocking up on stuff and drinking, and Cartagena, Spain. Now i'm on inactive reserve, meaning if the president calls another war I could go. :( oh poor me. haha.
