Augustine (Augie)'s Story
Life
I am happily married with two children and two grandchildren. We currently live in Corpus Christi, Texas. I enjoy fishing, going to movies and playing Texas Hold-Em with my family and friends. I'm also a Sci-Fi nut.
School
I didn't really take school seriously as a kid.I wasn't part of the "In Crowd" and spent most of my time getting into trouble. I may have turned out a lot differently if I had not joined the Army. If I had to do it all over again I would embrace the whole school experience, gone to the prom, etc. But when life gives you lemons you make lemonade.
College
My time deployed in Iraq gave me time to do some classes on line, but never received a degree.
Workplace
After coming off Army active duty I tried my hand in the insurance business. I did well but wanted something more secure, like the federal government. So I became a correctional officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I worked at FCI Ft. Dix, NJ, USP Terre Hau...Expand for more
te, IN (was there when Timothy McVighe was executed) and FCI Fairton, NJ. After nine years with the BOP I became a Deputy United States Marshal in Philadelphia, PA. This is my dream career and can truly say I love my work. I will be finishing up my career here in Texas in April when I retire from the DOJ after 25 years of service.
Military
I enlisted in the Army at 17 years of age in 1986. I served at Ft. Rucker, Alabama and Kaiserslautern, Germany on active duty and was deployed to combat in the gulf war (Desert Storm). I then left active duty to pursue a career in law enforcement. I knew I couldn't leave the military all together so I enlisting in the NJ Army National Guard. I served several more years and was deployed to combat for a second time for the war in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom III). I was deployed for 18 months, returned in November 05 and retired in 2013 from the Army Reserves as an E8/MSG with 26 years of military service.
