Russell's Story
Hello Everyone,
I wrapped up playing Army for 27 years and now, after spending a couple years in Iraq as a contractor, teaching the new "Iraqi" Army weapons, Im a farmer. I also teach college part time and work on airplanes as a sideline. You can’t be a farmer without “side” jobs… lol
I've spent time in Aviation units as a crew chief, then in the Artillery branch for a few years. Then I got bored and joined the Special Forces... Who would have thought of me doing that back in high school? I spent time as a Weapons Sergeant and team shooter on ODA 556, with the 5th Special Forces at Fort Campbell, KY. Spent time in countries that are not on the prefered tourist list, like Somolia, Ethiopia, and a few other places... Found out that the Special Forces branch was not the most powerful branch in ...Expand for more
the Army when I got detailed to become a recruiter, kicking and screaming and sent to Ohio... I was actually pretty good at it and stayed for six years. After 9/11 I found a way back to the regular Army, but back surgury disqualified me for going back to an A-Team. That, I wasn’t allowed to jump. I was also a jumpmaster. So, I ended up back in an Artillery unit at Fort Riley, KS for the last six years. The last two years were spent training troops, on weapon ranges, that were heading to Iraq and Afghanistan.
I have a couple of airplanes, and my airframe and power plant /AI certificates. Right now I have a Piper Tripacer, an Apache, and a 60% scale fighter. If anyone is passing through Kansas, give me a shout. I don’t come on here very much, but you can track me down through Facebook…
