Tristan's Story
Life
Well, you might have noticed that I have two High Schools up. That is because I attended GHS from '98 to '00 and then moved to Nevada to finish up my years. Since I graduated, I enlisted in the Marines. I am stationed in California right now and am getting ready to go to Iraq for a third tour in Sept. It may sound crazy, but I really miss Greenfield AND Sparks and I plan on visiting as soon as I come back to the States around May of '06. I just wanted to see who I can run into again after a long time and maybe have some drinks with them and catch up.
Military
I entered bootcamp on August 11th and graduated on November 8th of 2002. From there I attended the School of Infantry and became an 0352 (Infantry TOW gunner)....Expand for more
As soon as I graduated SOI, I was assigned to 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and met up with them in Kuwait two weeks before Bush declared war (though I didn't know it at the time).
My unit returned from Iraq and it wasn't long before we were sent out for a second tour. Now we have returned and at the moment, my unit is getting ready for a third time in September.
I have now been cross-trained from a TOW gunner to an Assaultman, specializing in rocket launchers, demolitions, and breaching.
This is an experience I will never forget and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I do not plan on reenlisting in August '06, however, for I have found something I want to do for the rest of my life.
