Intro

Post by Parkie »

Just wanted to introduce myself as per SOP. I graduated Ranger Class 03-99 after being given the opportunity to start Class 02-99. Mountain phase just happened to be my favorite, so I stuck around to do it again.

I was an Artillery Officer and lived the creed in all of the units I served. FSO for an Attack Aviation unit in Korea. Light Arty in 10th MTN with a trip to the mountains of Kosovo. A Heavy Arty guy in 1CD with a trip to Iraq assisting the Black Knights of 1-5 CAV Mech Inf as their FSO in Baghdad, Najaf and Fallujah.

Currently working as a Park Ranger for the NPS in Yosemite (just had to get back to some mountains) learning how to conduct Search and Rescue Operations and Law Enforcement.
