Justin Stroh
Class of 2004
Army, 5 Years
I first joined the Army Reserves in my Senior year of high school. I wound up on my first deployment to Iraq just six months after graduation! That was a crazy year to say the least. But I ended up getting together with my now wife because of it! Currently I am on my second deployment. I originaly joined as 88M transportation, but after my first deployment in 2005 I decided it wasn't best for me. I reclassed to 37F PSYOP (psychological operations) and I am enjoying it much more!
