After graduation I attended USF and in 1994 was commisioned a 2LT in the Army Corps of Engineers. I have served as a Combat Engineer Officer all over the world. I have been deployed to Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, and Iraq. I'm currently serving in Mosul, Iraq as a commander for a team of military advisors. We are training a new Iraqi Infantry Battalion how to fight the insurgency. It is the most challenging and dangerous job I have ever had. I have a very understanding wife and two daughters that have followed me all over the U.S. and the world.

Michele D. Cooke (Maiden name of Cole)
Class of 1988
Army, 15 Years
After HS I attended Georgia Military College. I graduate in June 1990 as a 2nd LT. I returned home to FL and began service as an US Army Reserve Officer in units in the Tampa Bay area. In DEC 2000, I accepted a position in New Orleans and relocated there. While I was in NOLA, I was accepted into a program called Active Guard and Reserve (AGR). A program gear to Guard and Reserve Officers to be in the Active Army serving at a Reserve unit. In MAY 2001, I relocated to Mobile, AL. I was mobilized in FEB 2003 to support the Operation Iraqi Freedom mission. I spent 12 months in Iraq. I deployed with a unit from Gainesville, FL with a total of 16 soldiers. In APR 2004, all 16 soldiers returned home with no injuries from our deployment. This was my goal and I/we successfully completed that mission! I served from APR to SEP 2004 in Birmingham, AL at the Headquarters Command. In OCT 2004, my orginal unit from Mobile returned from their deployment and I rejoined the unit. In NOV 2005, I resigned my commissioned as an US Army Officer and began life as a true civilian.

Stefan M Tyska, has already been added to this page. However, in light of his recent expressions of his feelings toward African Americans in this country, I highly encourage a distancing of this site with such a bigot. Well, unless of course you agree with his sentiments.
