After high school I worked for a local construction company for 4 years and decided that it was not the life for me. So I cut off all my hair(if you remember it was longer than most girls in school at the time) and decided to join the Marines as a Infantry Riflemen. In Sep 2003 I went to Boot camp at Parris Island SC, and Graduated in Dec. I was quickly sent to Iraq in June of 04. I was in the battle of Fallujah and on a FOB in the Triangle Of Death. After the Iraqi elections I got sent home in Feb of 05. Nov of 05 got sent back to Camp Hit in Northern Iraq for 9 more months. That deployment sent me all over the world. Rota Spain, Sicily, Djibouti in Africa, Palma Spain, Ireland, and Germany. I Re-enlisted in Feb of 07 and I am now stationed at Camp Lejeune in NC. 1st BN 6th Marines. Will be going to Afgan before the end of the year and hope to be back in time for our reunion! I will be the one in Marine Corps Dress Blues! Its going to be great!
