Today, 10-years ago in a red-carpeted room in the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) building in Boise I raised my hand to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
It has been an interesting ride with some great highs and a few lows. I have deployed to Iraq twice, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) III in '04/'05 as an Intelligence Analyst and 6-years later in support of Operation New Dawn (OND) as a Shadow 200 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Standardization Instructor-Operator. I have gained an immense amount of experience and gained some life-long relationships.
I am almost done with my National Guard contract and currently don't plan on re-enlisting, but plan on pursuing a career with the Federal government. I am currently attending college using the Post 9/11 GI Bill to fund my way through to eventually earn both my Bachelor's and Masters degree.
