I joined the Army in 1995 and went into the Military Police Corps.  After basic and AIT, I was stationed on Johnston Atoll with the USARPAC MPC for a one year tour.  We did physical security of chemical munitions and island security.

I was then stationed at Ft Hood Texas with the 545th MP Company, First Cavalry Division.  We did garrison patrols but spent most of our time in the field.  We did a "intrinsic action" rotation to Kuwait and a few NTC and JRTC rotations.

I left the 545th for Division Headquarters and was part of the Personal Security Detail (driver) for the ADC (Assistant Division Commander).  We deployed to Bosnia for nine months with Operation Joint Forge (SFOR5).

Once back to Texas I re-enlisted after finding I could get a PSD slot at CENTCOM, MacDill AFB in Tampa.  We conducted personal security for Gen Franks and the official party.  We traveled all over the middle east and the world.  After 911 things got really exciting but it was an adventure.  Somehow we all made it out in one piece. 

In 2003 I left the service for the private sector but I'll never forget my time in the Army or the friends I've made.

That is about it, you can see my CENTCOM pictures here.
