Jason's Story
Hello old classmates. I was born in Indiana but had most of my schooling in southern Florida. I went to Suncoast Elementary but we moved around a lot so I bounced around in High schools, I attended Mariner High in Cape Coral, FL. for my freshman year and North Fort Myers High and Riverdale for Sophomore and Junior year. My education interest went downhill (probably from moving so much). My family decided to move back to Indiana and I obtained a GED in Indiana and attended a community college. I worked in furniture factories for several years as an upholsterer and worked my way up as a designer for a fortune 500 company. I joined the local fire dept., and became a Pro-Am Paintballer. I raced dirt bikes and thought I had it all figured out. I got married and fathered two beautiful daughters.

eavily for a couple years before deciding to join the Army National Guard. I had wanted to be a Marine when I was younger but my wife really didnt want me joining the military as I was a "family man". I joined at the age of 35. I decided i wanted to be an Infantryman (foot soldier). It was a struggle at first but I really turned things around. I was a Recon Scout for a while before deciding to move out of small town life and back to Florida in late 2010. I quit smoking and am only a social drinker. I signed with the Florida National Guard and am a non commissioned officer in an infantry line unit. I continued my education at a local Florida college where I ended up meeting my current wife. I am currently self employed on my civilian side designing, building, and upholstering furniture for high-end interior designers in SW Florida. I am highly considering hanging up my military career after this next deployment. My wife and I travel as much as possible and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
