Life
Life? I'm still living it.......
School
High school....ahhh, those were the days!! It's been a while but it seems like it was just yesterday. Most of time was spent with JROTC, which is where most of my friends were. Probably my fondest memories were some of the school trips we took to Colorado Springs and San Diego. If only I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn't have kept my nose buried in a book so much!
Workplace
After I graduated high school in '93 I worked several minimum wage jobs. In '97 I joined the Army and was in for 5 years. After getting out I worked for a few years at the local high school before starting my current job here in Berthoud, Colorado. I now work for Mayo Industries, a metal fabrication, welding, and pipeline company that does jobs here in their large shop in Berthoud, and also abroad from Utah to Nebraska and Wyoming.

Military
Well, in 1994 I joined the Oregon Army Natonal Guard and spent the next 3 years as a Tank Driver. Being a "Weekend Warrior" is pretty fun, even more so when you get to drive a 65 ton tank that can drive 45 mph and stop on a dime. In 1997 I went active duty but switched to the Infantry, and was immediately shipped to S. Korea. Talk about your culture shock! This country is still prepared for the war that was paused (it never ended) 50 years ago. The year I spent there was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. The Army really does get more done before 9am than most get done all day. In '98 I moved to Ft Campbell, KY, not near as fun. I came really close to getting sent to Kosovo. In 2000, I reenlisted and transfered to Aviation and fixed attack helicopters for the next 2 years in Ft Hood, Tx before getting out in 2002.
