Life
After Graduation, I reported to Boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina on June 24, 1982. Upon completion of basic training, I went to Basic Electronics School at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in 29 Palms, California. I then continued my training at Schools Company, Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia where I became MOS 2875 qualified. Next I was transferred to TOW Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for duty as a Small Missile System Repairman. In 1984 I was transferred to TOW Platoon, 8th Marine Regiment in it's inaugural stage. After being promoted to Corporal in 1985, I was sent to Electronic Maintenance Company, 3rd Maintenance Battalion, 3rd FSSG Okinawa Japan. My wife Dianne accompanied me here for 2 great years.

ventually decided to exit the Marine Corps in 1991.
After relaxing for a year, I joined the Marine Corps Reserve with TOW Platoon, 25th Marines, 4th Marine Division in Chicopee, Massachusetts. After completing two summer Annual Trainings, one at Camp Lejeune and the other a CAX at 29 Palms, I was hooked and decided to finish my career on Active Duty. In April 1995, we packed up the UHaul Super Mover and headed out west for duty with 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, MCAGCC, 29 Palms. Ryan was born in 1997 and soon after we received orders to Okinawa Japan again.
After arriving in June 1998, we quickly settled into the Japanese culture. I was promoted to Gunnery Sergeant in July 1999 and I am presently working at Ordnance Maintenance Company, 3rd Materiel Readiness Battalion, 3rd Force Service Support Group. We plan on extending here until June of 2004, then one more year back in the USA. Our projected retirement date is December 1st 2005!
