Jason's Story
Life
Right after highschool, I joined the Navy and I have been in ever since. I never planned on staying in so long, but the years just rolled along. I got married in 94 and we had two beautiful children, but unfortunately divorced in 99. She moved to Virginia with the kids soon after while I remained in San Diego. I have been very fortunate to have seen the world by way of 6 deployments to the Mediterranean, Western Pacific, South Pacific and Arabian Gulf. In 2005, I was transferred to Virginia so we can be closer to my older kids. I live here with my current (pregnant) Wife of 5 years and our 3 year old Son. I miss Sacramento, but I plan to retire here from the Navy as early as 2008 after graduation from Old Dominion University.
School
I kind of screwed away highschool and was actually lucky to graduate. I regret leaving Highlands in my senior year. I would definitely put more effort into my classwork if I could do it over again.
College
I went to c...Expand for more
ollege at a community college in Alameda and received my Associates in 94 and am currently enrolled at Old Dominion University out here in Virginia finishing my B.A. The sooner I finish, the sooner I can retire from the Navy. With being fulltime active duty, I am planning a May 2008 grad and Aug retirement.
Workplace
I worked fast food for the most part throughout highschool. I have known only one job in my adult life though. I have advanced up the ranks and enjoyed being stationed in San Diego the most.
Military
I went to boot camp in 87 in Orlando, Florida. I was stationed in Washington State, Alameda CA, San Diego CA, Ventura CA and now Virginia Beach, VA. I advanced to E-7 (Chief Petty Officer) in the Summer of 05 and I have been involved in what seems to be every conflict since 87.... Libya, Lebanon, Dessert Storm/shield, Afganistan, Iraqi Freedom....... Trust me, it has driven my Mother crazy! I plan to stay in till the summer of 08 and retire.
