USMC--Corporal, 7242 (Air Support Operations), 87-92
Went to MCRD at San Diego, school at 29 Palms, two years at MCAS Futenma (great job there, we got to deploy a lot--saw a lot of Korea and some great times in Thailand), last two years at Cherry Point (pine swamps and people sucked, most deployments were to the 2507 in Cali, but I did have one fun stay in Norway following some suck ass survival training where I froze) Michigan Army National Guard 92-98. I was an MP, and in 96 clinton called us up for reelection. I spent a year AD in the army doing law enforcement work and it really sucked being 1) in the army, and 2) in the clinton army, and 3) being the po-po in the clinton army. |

Tim, I was in HHC with Sigel, Jackovich, Huntington and those others. I think I know who you're talking about going through RIP, but I can't rememeber his name to save my life, but I do remember that he was heavy into Martial Arts and watching him do the splits between two chairs as part of his stretching excersizes...OUCH! |

Sigel was my Ranger buddy at RIP-we were in the same battalion in Korea, but different companies. I had a poster from Korea, I think for Crown Beer, that Sigel managed to talk me into selling him.....I wish I had it now.
