Hey, just wanted to say I'm glad to be apart of this website, looking forward to learning from Rangers/Soldiers Old and New.

My name is John. I'm a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army. Currently stationed in MacDill AFB, FL with the Joint Communications Support Element.

A little bit about myself. I'm 26, and originally from the Washington, DC and Northern Neck area of Virginia.

Joined the army March 19, 1998, went to BCT at Fort Jackson, SC for 8 weeks. I went to Fort Gordon, GA for AIT, 36 weeks of learning Satellite Communications. I graduated from AIT in February 1999.

SOCEUR Signal Detachment, 112th Signal Batallion (Apr02-Mar04)
SOF Deployable Node Operator/Maintainer

Joint Communications Support Element, MacDill AFB (Jun04-Present)

I am divorced, and have no children. I am physically active and enjoy life to the fullest.

Thank you for your time, hope to get right into this thing soon.

AIRBORNE,

JOHN
