About Me
- Daniel
- I'm a 30 y.o now 2nd year medical student at Quillen College of Medicine. I retired from the Army as a Captain after losing my arm in a little "incident" in Afghanistan.
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!

OMG!! I am so jealous! As I said before I went there last Christmas to visit family and it's BEAUTIFUL. I can only imagine how wonderful it is this time of year. Be prepared to take zillions of pictures. Have fun and I can't wait to hear about your adventures in the last of the true frontiers.
Hello Daniel,
Welp, I now get to visit Alaska through your eyes.
Please don't miss anything of intrest and/or beauty AND have loads of fun.
I was beginning to wonder if you'd been trampled by a moose. Can't wait to hear about your adventures. :)
