I attended Franklin Pierce College for two years and decided I needed a little adventure. I went on to serve my country for almost 28 years, culminating with my selection and promotion to Sergeant Major. I was an Infantryman and graduate of Ranger Class 13-87. Operational deployments include MFO-IV (Sinai, Egypt), 1986-1987, SFOR-10 (Bosnia), 2001-2002; overseas tours to Germany, Alaska, and Hawaii; combat deployments to Afghanistan (OEF-III/IV), 2003-2004 and Iraq (OIF-V/VI), 2005-2006.
