Aaron S. Barnes
Class of 2003
Army, 3 Years
I have been with the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division for 3 1/2 years. I am currently on the last leg of my second deployment in Iraq, my first one was from September 2005 to September 2006 and then got deployed again from September 2007 and expecting to be home late November 2008. My job or "MOS" is 13F (fire support specialist), my duties are to locate the enemy and call in artillery, air, and naval fire (missles, bombs, etc.) onto the enemy and make sure the job is taken care of. Since this is unconventional warfare I am currently the Platoon Sergeants driver and we go out on operations and patrols every single day just as people would go to work everyday.
