My Story
I was born in Sacramento, CA. I grew up in Carmichael, CA. I went to Cameron Ranch Elementary School from Kindergarten to 6th grade. I then moved to Elk Grove, CA. I attended Joseph Kerr Middle School and Elk Grove High School. College was not for me so I went strait into the Marine Corps. I went to Boot Camp at the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot in September of 2003. I graduated December 19, 2003, just in time not to sing happy birthday to Jesus on Christmas. I then completed the School Of Infantry(SOI) in Camp Pendleton, CA, which I started and ended, January 10, 2004 to March 10, 2004. Once I left SOI, I went strait to Camp Horno about 3 miles down the road. Once I got to Camp Horno I was assigned to 3rd Battalion 1st Marine Division, or just 3/1 as we call it. Once I was in 3/1, I was put into Kilo Company (Kilo Co.), 3rd Platoon (3rd Plt.) I was then told I would be the SAW gunner in 3rd Squad 3rd Fire Team. This meant I would have a heavier weapon then anyone in my squad, carry the most ammo, be weighted down the most by my gear, but I also had the most FIREPOWER!!!! Once July rolled around we packed up and got ready to fly from March Air Force Base to the "nice and cool" country of Kuwait. We would stop in the state of Maine and the former Nazi country of Germany to refuel and stretch out our legs.
