I am a soldier in the United States Army and have been for over 14 years. I am a powertrain mechanic which means that I work on the rotors, transmission, and driveshafts of a helicopter. I have experience in different areas within the Army and am a career soldier. We have lived from Texas to Korea to Kentucky to Alaska. I don't mind the moving around. So far my favorite place to live has been Alaska and the absolute worst was Korea. I am slated to leave for the big sandbox in the fall. While my family is not terribly happy about this, it is my job and I am proud to defend and support my country in whatever capacity it needs me.
