About Me

At the request of my lovely wife I am updating my profile, after all I am no longer 25 years old. I am now 27 and I feel 27. I just returned from a deployment aboard the USS Boone as part of the Air Det. It was an interesting cruise and I had the opportunity to see lots of places but it does not make up for my missing the birth of my daughter Sophia. In the end I came out a stronger person with a greater appreciation for my family than I did before my cruise.I am in the Navy, have been for the last 4 years. I go through cycles of wanting to get out than being smacked with the realities of how easy we have it here with all the benefits that we get that I wouldn't otherwise get in the 'civilian' world. But the bottom line is I don't like being away from my family. But I am grateful for the 6 month Naval deployment vice the 1 year plus deployments that the Army and Marine Corps go on. So my hats off to them.Anything else you'd like to know just ask. MyGen Profile Generator
