My wife is a disabled veteran as well as I, so a year ago when we were both between jobs we decided to go to school and take advantage of the benefits we had coming to us. Web design has been a hobby of mine since I was about 10 or 12 and I taught myself HTML by viewing web page sources and deleting lines to see what happened. I then started to understand links and images before long my knowledge spread to tables a several other tags. I am very excited to learn more in a education environment.

The most exciting time of my life started one morning on september 11th when my alarm radio went off and it was not music. Still groggy, I went into the living room and turned on the TV in time to see the second place fly into the World Trade Center. Growing up I always said I would join the army if there was an attack on American soil, so when this happened I new what I was going to do. I met my wife a month later, who was fresh out of basic training and home on leave. She was going to be stationed in Germany. I thought this is going to be fun, so after obtaining a waver for childhood asthma and taking a mental placement test and a psychical, I Picked MP (Military Police) and guaranteed Germany in my contract. A few minutes after that I swore in as a United States Soldier. I was told I could go to basic training in two months, at this point it was already January and I wanted to see my girl friend. I asked if I could leave sooner, and was asked when I wanted to leave I replied “now or maybe tomorrow.” I was given two weeks to get my stuff inorder. I had basic training at ft. Leonardwood, Missouri and from there I was stationed in Kitzingen, Germany, deployed to Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, then stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX before being separated for medical issues.
