After graduation, I enlisted in the U.S. Army. I completed my training (basic & AIT) at Ft. Jackson SC. My first duty assignment was Ft. Stewart GA. This is where the fun begans. I was deployed to Operation Desert Shield / Storm (Saudia Arabia / Iraq), Operation Quick Fix (Samaulia), Bright Star (Egypt), Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq). I've completed tours in Panama, El Salvador, Belize, Kaiserslatuern Germany. I have many war stories ( which I'd rather not discuss). But never-the-less, while in the military, I recieved my mechanic and maintenance certification. I moved to Alabama in 1994 (where I was assigned to an Active Reserve Unit) I was also employed by Bellsouth (1995-2003)(Aprentice Maintenance Tech). Completed ASE Certification. I resigned from Bellsouth and ended my term of service in the Army, once my services was accepted by Mercedes Benz (Jan 2004)(Quality Auditor). I married Amethyst (my soul mate) April 2001. I don't regret any of my decisions since graduation because I've been totally bless. I can't Complain! Can't wait to see everybody! God Bless 88!
