US Army 25B Computer Geek, tried to switch jobs five times! 
1985-1988 Army Reserves, Santa Ana Ca.
I almost joined the Marine Corps because I spent some time on MCAS Tustin and MCAS Irvine. My reserve unit used to train at Camp Pendleton. Instead, I joined after my junior year of high school, only one other guy in my class did this, I thought I was one tough dude. While all the jocks were wearing their letterman jackets, I was wearing my shiny combat boots and walking with pride. 
1988-Present Active Army
Served in the following places:
Ft. Hood, TX
First Gulf War
Ft. Hood, TX
Camp Carroll Korea
The Pentagon
HQ Landsouth Verona Italy
Ft. Huachuca, AZ
MFO Sinai Egypt
Ft. Riley, KS
I will retire September 2009. I would not mind serving more, but I am too old for the British Army and I do not feel like learning to speak French.
