 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Enjoying life everyday to the fullist, for life is to short not too. Found my third childhood in the form of a Honda VTX1300T motorcycle. Enjoy riding all through New England. My wife has started riding with me here in 2009. She loves riding and I love having her on it with me. After 2 tours in Iraq, it really helps make up for the time we were apart. We go every place on it.

Retired working full time for the MA National Guard. 40 yrs plus. 23 drills, 30 annual training days, and maybe one more deployment till they tell me to get out. 23 months to go and will be 60 yrs old. Been a great career. Wouldn't change it for the world.

PLEASE DESCRIBE WHO OR WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO JOIN THE ARMY.
MyDad was a WW II vet. Joined the Army at 16 ad in the Pacific fighting for his life in the Infantry. Spent 6 years active duty and 26 years full tie in the Army National Guard. I followed in his footsteps all the way except my first combat deployment I was 50 years old.
