Made Staff Sergeant '90. Married-Divorced-Remarried in Panama. Moved to West Point, NY in '90. Had my son Jimmy in Jan 1991. The best Son I could have ever asked for. Got out of the Army and returned to Johnson City in July '91. Attended ETSU from '91-'94 (Criminal Justice Degree ¿ huge waste of money and time). Received Active Duty Commission as a Military Intelligence Officer upon graduation. Stationed in Wurzburg, Germany from '95 - 97 with a 6 month visit to Bosnia as an Aide-de-Camp for BG Reginald G. Clemmons (what fun). Had my daughter Amy in Jun '96. Lucky enough to have a daughter just as perfect as my son. Stationed at Fort Gordon, GA with the 202nd MI Bn from '98 - '99.

Selected to be one of 23 Automation Officers (FA53) in the Army. Stationed at CP Carroll, Waegwan, Korea as the 501st Sustainment Brigade's Combat Service Support Automation Management Officer from '06 - '08. Divorced and remarried. My wife's name is Latasha and she is absolutely incredible. We have so much fun when we are together...it should be illegal (some of it might be?). Next stop is Fort Gordon again from Oct '08 to Mar '09 followed by 3 years in HAWAII!!!! Wahooo! Well, I am in Hawaii and it is amazing. I love my job, house, and I have already been SCUBA diving. I just can't stop smiling. My wife won't be here for about 9 more months...but then everything will be perfect. My job is pretty good. I am the Lead Data Planner for the United States Army Pacific Command (USARPAC) - Which means I design the networks for all the major exercises and deployments within Asia Pacific (Thailand, Philippines, Korea, Japan, and Alaska). Life is gooooood!
