Military Myspace LayoutsHi everybody my name is Alan. I was born and raised in the bay area burb of Concord. It was a nice community but it has gone to hell. Been living in the Santa Rosa area since '91. Beautiful here. Redwoods, green, lots of cows, for the most part peaceful. Home of Charles "Snoopy" Schultz. Dairy and wine country.(Sorry France!) Although there are a lot of liberals here. So it's not quite the garden of eden here. Just can't get rid of those serpents.I first joined the Army after graduating high school in 1982. Was a member of the 159th(M)Inf.40th Div. CANG. Got out and over time found that the military was the better choice for me. So after about a 13 year break in service went back in and became a 14R (Stinger missile)Bradley Linebacker crewmember. I was stationed at FT Bliss, TX.El Paso is out in the middle of BFE, next nearest large city was Albaquerque 5 hours away or San Antonio/ Dallas about 10 to 12 hours away. Pretty much nothing to do there. My friends and I would go to Hooters twice a week. (For unit meetings.Really we did.) We also would go to local clubs (Graham's Central Station, The Stampede, Montana Hideaway, Naked Harem,Red Parrot, and across to Juarez clubs.(Spanky's) I occasionally miss that city. Unfortunately I ended up messing up my shoulder and had two surgeries. I ETS'd out permanently in '04. Still working at getting back in though. Have a weight issue I need to overcome first.Right now I'm a Truck driver with 5 years experience. I am running locally for the Cintas corp.(Round trip Santa Rosa to Sacramento.) Would like to find a Union job here in town though.
