It all started back in 2001 when I was sitting in my 5th grade class. I remember witnessing the terrorist attacks on the channel 1 news. Two airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Centers on September 11th. They let school out early that day so that everyone could be with their family and loved ones. The events that conspired that day are forever etched in my mind. Devastated and heartbroken. In shock and disbelief about the attacks on our country. I was too young to serve at the time but, it became my calling to one day serve. I believed I could one day help make a difference and become part of something greater.

Once I became of age, I decided to enlist into the United States Army as an Infantryman at age 17 and shipped out for Basic Training just 4 days after I graduated High School. Young, driven, and healthy I was able to withstand a record hot summer in Ft. Benning Georgia and graduate Basic Training. Upon graduating, drill instructors where taking volunteer applicants for Airborne School which was at Ft. Benning as well. I thought "I'm already here and it's only a few more weeks so why not? I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain."

After completion of Airborne School, I had drawn orders to be permanently stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC. Home of the 82nd Airborne Division and Special Forces. My unit was 2Panther, Bravo Co. 2-505th. 3rd Brigade Combat Team. A unit known as "H-MINUS" because of its historical early drop over Normandy during WWII. It was an honor to be part of such an historic unit. I was eager for the challenge.

My first official position in my unit was as a Squad Automatic Weapon Gunner. AKA- "SAW Gunner" for 2nd Infantry Platoon. As a SAW Gunner, my responsibilities were to provide suppressive fire to support a maneuver of my squad and engage the enemy targets during combat operations. Strict weapons maintenance was a necessity to insure the M249 Machine gun would operate properly so I payed close attention to detail while cleaning and maintaining my weapon. The Platoon relied on it. Being able to follow orders and directives helped instill trust and reliability in my fellow Platoon members. They could count on me to do my job.

After six months of becoming a successful (SAW) Gunner, it was time to keep moving up. MY squad leader had recommended to the Platoon Sargent that I should become the platoon's Radio Telephone Operator (RTO). A very important position in the platoon. Duties included maintaining the critical link of communication between the Platoon and Company leadership. Receive, process, distribute, and track critical information in a timely and accurate manner. Keep all radios operational at all times. Call for Fire sequences. Call for Medical Evacuations (MEDVAC). As the (RTO), I was the Platoon Leader's pupal and his successor in the event of their death in combat. The (PL) is a Commissioned Officer (CO) in charge of platoon operations. Maintaining close proximity and communication with the PL was a necessity as to insure safe and proper function of platoon operations. I was promoted from Private First Class (PFC) to Specialist (SPC) during my twelve months as RTO.

Promoted and now knowing the operations of the platoon very well, the PL recommended that I become a Team Leader in the Weapons Squad. It was now time to have soldiers under my command. The Weapons Squad specialized in Machinegun operations, Suppressive fire to support the platoons maneuvers and engaging enemy targets during combat operations. Having experience with the M249 Machinegun, I found it was a good fit. I was able to use my knowledge and leadership skills to train, mentor, and develop four disciplined, skilled soldiers. My Company received deployment orders a few months later.

From the day I arrived at my unit, the several months leading up to my deployment, the Brigade's collective task was to continuously train for deployment. Even through my position changes. The job being the worlds (GRT) Global Response Team. We rigorously trained and prepared to be deployed to anywhere in the world within 24 hours. We were notified of our orders and deployed to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). After being briefed on operations during the airplane ride into the middle east, we were boots on the ground a few hours later. My company was deployed on several missions during the 12 months we were in Afghanistan. Tasks included operations with Special Forces and the 75th Ranger Regiment. Sting operations on High Value Targets (HVT). Air assaults, patrols on foot, (VIP) extractions, target locating and termination, liberating villages, and destroying taliban strongholds. I conducted and completed all tasks that were asked of me and brought all four of the soldiers under my command home safely to their loved ones.

After coming back to the states, I was discharged from the Army and became a father. I've been in the workforce ever since.
