William's Story
Life
After HS I managed to get drafted and stayed in the Army Reserves for the mext 25 years traveling all over the world. I was able to visit some of the most exotic places (the jungles of Central America, the DMZ of Korea, and the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq) You know, vacation spots!!!
I also retired from the State of California as a nursing unit supervisor and then changed careers into law. Something I should have done many years ago.
I now live in Virginia, aboout 10 miles from Washington. I worked as a medical malpractice paralegal in one of the more successful firms in Washington until I was smart enough to find a job in Virginia working for an alternative medicine utilization management company. There are so many lawyers back here they're waiting on tables just to get their big break! Enough about me....How are you and what have you been doing????

Drafted!!! Then didn't have enough sense to stay out when the first tour was over. I stayed in tHe Army Reserves for the next 25 years.
The first military career was in the Medical Corps doing everything from mental health (as a therapist, not a patient) to combat medicine ( with special operations in Central America.
I then transferred into the Special Oerations Forces and ended my career as an instructor in Civil Affairs.
I visited Central America, Asia, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Now that I've retired, it seems like another life. I wouldn't change anything of significance, but neither do I miss it.
I have seen and done things most people can only think about and the one thing of which I am most proud, I never lost a soldier under my responsibility in a combat situation.
I have a greater appreciation for family, friends, and freedom and those who continue the fight to preserve it.
