Military
Joined the Marine Corps directly after High School and stayed - Active and Reserve until I retired in January 2003. It was, and remains the most fulfilling experience of my life, next to my Wife and family. I had a full career which included a stint as a Scout Sniper, Platoon Commander for a Rifle platoon and Weapons Platoon as well as the Platoon Sergeant for 1/25 Scout Snipers during the Gulf War. My career peaked with two tours as the First Sergeant for 'C' Company and later H&S Company, 1/25. My closest friends are Marines and we stay in close contact.
