Joseph's Story
Life
Well, since the last time I visited this page alot has happened. Actually more than I really care to share. So, to put in a short story with few words; here goes.
I now reside in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I have lived here a little over two years now and work as a Deputy Sheriff with the Chesapeake Sheriffs Office. I really did try and fit in to a civilian job, but no luck. I am currently single (my mistake) and still love life to the fullest. Spend my time around the house or on my Harley. Either way, life is too short to slow down now.
Hope each of you is doing well.
Military
From 1981-2001 I served in the United States Marines. During that time frame, I enjoyed my career, but it was at a heavy cost personally. Looking back in retrospect, I made my choices, and would make them again the same way to reach my end goal.

follows. Keep in mind, my 20 year career kept me away from the states more than half the time!!! What an experience!! Okinawa three times, Korea Twice, Mt Fuji, Hong Kong, Norway, Frankfurt, Prague, Belgrade, Moscow, Pretoria, Vladivostok, 31st MEU, Panama Canal, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Nova Scotia, and well I think that is all!
I am now considered a disabled veteran and have served in a combat zone. My joys in life are on the open road in south florida riding my Harley Davidson. Soon I will begin a new path in life. This path will send me to college full time to finally get my degree after a 20+ year detour!! How awesome will that be!!! No stress!! Back to school!!
Live life to the fullest and enjoy what others have given up as the ultimate sacrifice. May God continue to care for my fallen brothers and sisters till such a time when this sacrifice is no longer required. Save a seat for me and keep the beer cold.
