My history....
Some people have e-mailed wanting to know my military history, so here's the cliff notes!
Entered the Army in 1995 as an Infantry private. Did my basic/AIT at Ft. Benning, GA before going to Fort Hood. At Hood I was in 2/7 Cav (Garryowen) of the First Cavalry Division. I then did a year in Korea with 1-9 Infantry (Manchu) as part of the 2nd Infantry Division. From there i transitioned to the TN Guard as a medic, completing another AIT as Fort Sam Houston as a 91W (Medic) in 2000. I then went to Officer Candidate School in 2001/2 (Class 45) and comissioned as a 2LT in August of 2002. Flight school followed in 2003 (class 3-18) and I got my wings on April 28th 2004. After Apache school I served as a platoon leater with R Trp 4/278th Cav (Rogues) until April 28th 2006 when I broke my wings. I finally medically retired February 22 2007 at Fort Sam Houston and subsequently began medical school at Quillen College of Medicine in July of 2007. Now i'm coming to a town near you!

Read your story on Bitten & Bound. I thought it was great. You are one of the "amazings". I wish you luck on your trip and donated a bit in honor of the Pinto Bean. I'm a 'beaner', so the name of your suburban made me laugh like a loon. I wish I could have donated more, but here in So Cal..gas is up to $4.22 a gallon for regular, and my 'gator (as I call my dark green Tahoe. Chevy's FTW!!!) just ingests it like air these days.
You and Rocky be safe, and have a fantastic time!
