Service description
I left for Navy boot camp the morning after the senior all nighter to join the reserves and get some $ for college. While attending EWU, I converted from the Navy reserves to a Marine officer program. After finishing officer candidate school, and graduating from EWU, I went to a school that all Marine Officers attend called "The Basic School" in Quantico, Virginia. Upon completion of TBS I went through various stages of flight training in Pensacola, Florida and Corpus Christi, Texas while dodging a few hurricanes in both locations. The last 6 1/2 yrs of active duty I was stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Island fever set in after about a yr. Of the last 3 yrs that I was stationed there I was only "on" the island about 1yr and deployed the other 2. While on active duty I was a pilot and flew the CH53 (basically it's a "really big" helicopter). I also served with a ground unit as a Forward Air Controller (basically talking aircraft onto targets or into landing zones). Outside the good ole' USA, I've been to India, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Guam, Australia, and Canada. I plan on doing more traveling in the future. Since leaving active duty I'm still a Major serving in a component of the Marine Corps reserve.
