Hello to all,
OK, here we go. After graduation I joined the Military, no suprise right. I spent 18 months at Ft. Riley KS, when I came down on orders to move to Garlstedt, Ge. While I was there I fought with some great guys in Desert Storm, my unit recieved a presidential award for our bravery fighting not just the Republic Guard, but the fedieen army. Damn, that was a wild one. After that I moved to Ft. Hood, Tx, where I spent most of my career. I recruited in Wichita, Ks for three years(yuck) but I did it anyway. After that back to texas for almost 7 years. Once again I had to go where duty called. Back to Germany, where I served in Iraq during OIF 1-3, thats 15 months. I returned to the US not long after that and started to prepare once agian to head back, all my time was in Baghdad, not a nice place. After that the army finally figured it was time for a break and sent me to Mississippi to train Soldiers getting ready to go over. After doing that for almost 2 years now. But alas I am retired now and home with my parents for a while. It will be nice to see everyone again. Take care, rob

If I spoke of half the stories that I have, just for short, in the back of the van, the crazy antics of Brian, Dale and myself, the fun we had at sr skip day, they would probably take our diploma's back for lack of interest. Growing up in Dewitt was a blast. I think we should meet up at the 50yard line on the old Dragon foot ball field and do something crazy, I doubt I would have to twist many arms. Cecil, how the hell did you remember that! It was good to see ya! Oh yea Take Care, Rob

Yes

In one of the pictures i am not sure if tracy and I were looking for a contact or actually dancing!! I had a blast, dale getting so wasted and telling me all his navy stories made me feel I was almost there, oh I was, just a different part of the sand and ocean. thanks for a great time guys, just think, our next 10 year we will be nockin on, well I will leave it at that, enjoy life, its too short. Love yall and take care, rob
