I am OFFICIALLY retired from the US Army as of tomorrow. It's been a long strange trip, full of ups and downs, fun and pain, laughs and blood. I will miss the Army greatly! I am deeply saddened to end my career this way. I wanted to finish with 20 years and at least 65 jumps from a plane, but I ended with 11 1/2 years and 44 jumps and injured.

I will always be a Soldier at heart!
