Hey Cort it’s been a long time. You use do stuff with me when I was a kid/teenager. I was talking to my mom last night and she mentioned you. I just thought I’d send you an email and say thank you for being a positive infulnece in my life. Also I figured I’d give you a bief outline what I’ve been up to for the last 16 years. I made a career in the Army infantry for 11 years. I’ve accomplished a lot and have been all over the world. My favorite duty station was Fort Campbel, Ky. During my 3rd deployment I satanted an eye injury from a dismounted IED blast. So I ended up getting an early retirement. After getting out of the Army I moved to Portland, Or, where I currently live. I spent my first year mainly fly fishing pursueing steelhead

    Personal Narrative: My Obstacles In The Army

    During my time in the Army, I have had plenty of obstacles, one in particular would be when I was a RTO (radio tech operator) and we were attached to another battalion to go raid a village. We patrolled all night until we walked twelve miles to our location avoiding helicopters flying in the sky looking for us. Once we finally set up an OP (observation post) we had a team go out and recon the village and we established a plan on how we were going to attack the village. My squad only had about nine of us, so we were not initially part of the main element to go in and assault the village. However, as we started creeping up to the first obstacle, a fence, helicopters started patrolling for us again.…

    Personal Narrative: A Soldier In Vietnam

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In A Military Family

    From growing up in a military family, I have become very resilient and I adapt really well to change. With my surroundings changing all the time, I have to be able to quickly adapt to my new setting and find ways to fit in as quickly as possible. I have been to about twelve different schools so far, and I have lived in about eight different houses. When I live on a military base, change is constant, even if it is not my own family experiencing the orders to move that year. The houses around me fill and empty all the time with new people, and some of the military dominant schools I have been to have the same problem.…

    Marine Corps Application Essay

    My most memorable moment being in the skies above Helmand Province, Afghanistan and the General teaching the young Lance Corporal me how to fly a KC-130J over the combat zone. The level of trust that was placed in me that day by our commander was indescribable! After my tour working in the Office of the Commanding General, I returned to the Intelligence Community as a Full Motion Video Analyst where I analyzed real-time happenings from our Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones until transitioning out of the Marines. From Mentor to Motherhood, last year I traded in the title of Sergeant for Mom and…

    Throughout the years my vision for what I would do for the rest of my life has changed over time (as it does with all children and young adults.) I would look into the future and see myself floating in space, fighting criminals, or owning my own business. While the later option still remains a goal of mine, the formers have dissipated away into Oblivion. As I matured and developed I realized how important family was in life. Not just close relatives, but ancestors as well.…
