U.S. Army 1991-1995 (Initial enlistment of 2 years 21 weeks, then a two year reenlistment)
12F - Engineer Tracked Vehicle Crewman. Got out as an E-4/Specialist.
Basic training at Fort Leonardwood, Mo. First duty station was Baumholder, Germany. While there I was sent to Livorno (Leghorn Army Depot), Italy to rebuild engineer vehicles to sent to Bosnia for rapid deployment. I spent 28 days in Italy doing that.
Reenlisted and was sent to Fort Hood, Texas. While there, I was deployed to Panama for 78 days for Operation Safe Haven. In Panama I came up for reenlistment again. The Army wouldn't let me reclass into EOD (Explosives Ordinance Disposal) and jerked me around on my bonuses, next duty assignment, etc, so I got out. |
Excellent, another ex-Army guy. I see you were at Ft.Hood. When were you there? My family and I moved there in 1976, returning stateside from 3 years in Germany. The folks bought a house in Copperas Cove in 1979, and I lived there until HS graduation in 1983, and then I joined the Army myself. I returned in 1986 after the army, and stuck around until 1998. I still have friends there, and my buddy owns his own insurance agency there in town, Camps Insurance, and I visit there about once or twice a month.
