Class of 1995
Army, 12 Years
I enlisted in the winter of 1995 and right after Christmas I attended Basic Training at Ft. Sill, Ok. Immediately following Basic Training, I attended Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Ft. Bliss TX. After graduating AIT, I was stationed in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Shortly after my arrival, I was deployed to Saudi Arabia as a Patriot Missile Crewmwmber. I spent the next 2 years in Germany before our unit was moved back to Ft. Bliss, TX.
After leaving Active Duty, I joined up with the NJ National Guard which I am still a member. I have been stationed in Hammonton, Pemberton, Bordentown and lastly Mt. Holly. In the summer of 2005, I voluntered for the war in Iraq and was then deployed to Balad Iraq. Our National Guard unit was extended due to the surge and to date, are in the record books as being the unit with the longest tour during the war. I currently serve as an Observer/controller/trainer at Ft. Dix, assisting in the training of soldiers that will be deployed this June.
