I grew up the middle kid of seven siblings, we were military bratz. I was born in Witchita Kansas on base. We moved from base to base as our Dad's career carried on till it dropped most of us in Blyville, Arkansas. A small B-52 base with a town of 400 or so residents. First Real Job was working with one of my brothers and Dad, after he retired from military and civil service, in a factory that made lights. Being this was boring as hell and something I didn't see me doing for the rest of my life, I asked my Mom if I could join the military, since I was only 17 at the time.

I enlisted in military staying in for over 20 years. Went to Korea after the first couple of years in. Being the first country I been in besides Canada, it was a culture shock. But, I learned alot and went to alot of places in the country. My first marriage was a girl from Korea, Sue Nam, she gave me my first son. After returning to the states for a year we all went back to Korea again, but we fell apart and when I left Korea 6 years later I met my second wife and my soul-mate, Bev. I have seen alot of things while in Military, some good, some that haunt me to this day. My second wife died 2 years before I retired from a massive heart attack. CPR doesn't help when there is a main artery tear. God rest her soul. I did marry for a third time, probably because I was lonely, to JT. Unfortunately she past away only a year and half later.

Since I've been out of the Military, I moved from OKC to Missouri were most of my Siblings live. I code, game, camp, bike, and help my brother and his family while they let me stay with them. I'm retired from Military and this year will be fully retired on Social Security. I hope to be able to get myself a nice Camper to tow with my truck. And be able to see alot more of this country I defended.
