Howdy! Glad to meet you! If you want I'll tell you a bit about myself. I'm currently in a temporary job in Gainesville, Georgia and have attended the University of Georgia, receiving 124 credit hours (just not the right ones to graduate for my History degree). I'm a graduate of Benedictine Military School in Savannah, GA. I was a Staff Sergeant in the Georgia Army National Guard where I served as a Scout Squad Leader with the current primary MOS of 19-Delta (Cavalry Scout)and was also qualified as an 11-Bravo (Infantryman) and 19-Kilo (Tanker). I have served two partial tours of duty in Iraq as an active duty augmentee (basically a replacement in the middle of a deployment), one lasting just over 6 months and the other just under 8 months. Both of these tours were with the 3rd Infantry Division. The unit I was served with was also attached several times to the 82nd Airborne Division and 1st Cavalry Division during these tours. My personal federal awards (I also have several from the state) and badges are the Silver Star, Bronze Star with Valor device, two Purple Hearts, two Army Commendation Medals, three Army Achievement Medals, Army Good Conduct Medal, Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal with two service stars, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Armed Forces Reserve Medal with two Mobilization devices, NCO Professional Development Ribbon with "2" numeral, Army Service Ribbon, Combat Action Badge, Basic Parachutist Wings, and Air Assault Badge. I grew up on Tybee Island and Wilmington Island, GA outside of Savannah and plan on becoming a pilot and officer in the U.S. Air Force or Air National Guard once I get a chance to finish my degree.
