I was raised in Hawley Minnesota. I Graduated from Hawley H.S. Two days after I graduated I entered the Navy. For my first I tour was stationed in Japan aboard the U.S.S. Independence. I spent two years on that damned ship. Then I transfered to an F/A-18 Hornet squadron. VFA-97. I was in that unit for a couple of years. I am now stationed in VFA-125. It is another Hornet Squadren. I am getting out of the Navy soon and aspire to become a CHP Officer.
