John's Story

Life Lets see, shortly after graduation I joined the US Air Force as a Security Policeman. It is now 21 years later and the only thing that has changed in that I am no longer call Sgt, it is now Mister. During my time in the military I have been everywhere from West Texas to the frozen waste land of the US known as North Dakota to the green fields of England to the nothingness and heat of the saudi and Egypt deserts to the coldest place on the face of the planet and the AF biggest playland, Thule AB in Greenland. Yes Greenland 200 mile south of the North Pole. Currently working security for Frito Lay in Plano School Just as any other red blooded american service member I put the protection of our country before myself. Living up to the military core values; Service before self and put my education on hold. Well I now have only two classes to go to get degree in Criminal Justice, even with all the deployments and wars we have had I found time to get it done for free Workplace While in the military I have had the opportunity to do a varity of jobs from walking around weapon laden aircraft to being in charge of an installation security program and a 100...Expand for more
person flight. The things that I have done, seen and been would take someone outside the military a couple of lifetimes to complete. Military Joined the Military to service our country in Jan 84 with the asperatiions of seeing the world, however the military planned for me to see more of Texas. Spent fisrt 4 years in Texas, than got to go to England. Did a 4 yr tour there, while I was there I went on temp duty(TDY) to the Wales, Scottland and the desert of Saudi before the War. I than somehow ended up back in Texas for another 6 1/2 yrs. While there I ended up back in Saudi 3 more times, once in Egypt, New Mexico, Nevada and a short trip back to England. Than the AF decided that they would be funny and sent me to the frozen waste land of ND, lucky was only there for 10 months yes that is a record. Than like every Texas Boy I came back home to the greatest state. While there went to the desert of Saudi two more time, and made it to Goosebay canada in route to Bosina before our mission got scrubed. Currently in Greenland and will go back to Texas to Retire after 21 yrs of service to our country fighting to help keep the freedoms that you all love so much
