Mark's Story
Life
Well I was married in 1982 and divorces in 1989. I have 3 beautiful kids 2 girls and a boy and 8 grand kids. I have been under treatment for Cancer. The VA is taking good care of me. I've been declared permanently disabled due to the damage done by the surgeries to remove the tumor.
School
While I was attending Carson Hi. I had the best time in the NJROTC. I sure hated moving away in 1977 and loosing contact with everyone. But I made several new friends at Illinois Valley Hi. The best times were the parties and shooting the double barred shotgun.
Workplace
I've worked in several trades and have my ticket (license) for Electrician, Carpenter, Mason and I have my General Contractors. So I haven't done to badly.
Military
Since I graduated I have served our country in the US Air Force from...Expand for more
1978 to 1982, as a Security Specialist (81155) my job was to guard the planes, bases and missiles. I only got to go over seas once, that was in Italy.
My second tour was in the US Army from 1982 to 1986 as a Combat Medic (91B). Now this was more fun as I took what I had learned from the Air Force and applied it. I think that I only spent about 11 months in the continental US. The most fun was in North Korea as I really got to apply my stuff along the DMZ in combat ( and yes I did shoot back to save a fallen comrade ). I am now a Sargent First Class in the New Mexico State Guard our job is to assist the Army National Guard and to assist the local Emergency Services when needed. We were informed last month that we could be Federalized by the President and assigned to the Homeland Security Office.
