Rebecca Mitchell:  

Life When I graduated I joined the Marines where I met my husband David, who I have been married to now for 26 years and counting. We had 3 handsome sons, my oldest is David (25), he is in the Marines now at Camp Lejeune and married and expecting my first grand baby in September, my middle son Zachary (21) is also a Marine and stationed at Cherry Point NC, he is waiting to be deployed on his 2nd deployment overseas, my youngest is Jordy (16) he will be a JR at Dobyns Bennett this fall. I am a stay at home mom now due to medical problems. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me. I still live in Kingsport over on the west side now, I was in the Marines for 2 years and was stationed at Parris Island, San Antonio TX and Camp Lejeune NC. I loved the Marine Corps, it gave me alot of self confidence in myself and instilled in me the love of my country USA, I am very Patriotic and can't stand people who are so blase about it. I consider myself a good person, I don't get out much because of my medical problems, I have fibromyalgia, but I would love to visit Ireland. After the Marine Corps, I went to work as a 911 dispatcher for the city of Kingsport for 8 years, leaving after I had my 3rd son, I stayed home for 3 years with him and then decided to go back to work. I got a job that allowed me to be home when my sons were and out for the summers, I became a lunch lady. Best job for the hours, especially if you have kids and can get to work at their school like I did. Only bad thing is the heavy lifting, it caused me to have rotator cuff problems with both shoulders and I have had 2 surgeries on each shoulder, another reason I do not work anymore. We have a wonderful home, it's not a mansion but it is filled with love. I have 3 cats and a dog and enjoy all the time we spend as a family, having cookouts, swimming or just hanging out in the back yard. So I hope if anyone remembers me they will give me a holler. I went to South for 3 years and finished up at North because we moved my last year, and I got in some trouble laying out of school from South, since we moved I had to drive and had the car so I just didn't go to school if I didn't want to, so my mom found out and made me move to North and ride the bus for the longest time.... ha ha Memories....I cherish them though. So if you find me on here, give me a holler. I am also on Facebook (Becky Burke Mitchell) and Twitter. Hope to hear from some old friends.... Some little facts About Me - I always wanted to be a mom when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a GREAT idea. As it turns out, they were right. I like to get a good book and a nice hot drink and relax on my back deck, by myself. My hero has always been my mother and father, they raised me to be the person I am, and I always try to make them proud with my decisions, and raise my children like they did. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Kim Crawford, because we were best friends and in chorus together, and I miss her.. NASCAR - Jeff Gordon is my favorite of all time! I love reading, sp...Expand for more
