On May 7th, 1985, five days after I turned 18 years old, the soonest I could, I joined the United States Marine Corps. On February 26th, 1986, I started Boot Camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Ca. For the next 13 1/2 years I served my God, my country, my state, & my beloved Corps as a military policeman, criminal investigator, marksmanship instructor, and NCIS Special Agent. In 1999, I was Honorably Discharged due to aggravation of injuries sustained in August 1992 when as a criminal investigator I was assaulted by a suspect in a car while apprehending him for numerous crimes to include drug trafficking, burglary, and death threats to a material witness. I did prevent him from harming my witness, and I did take him into custody. No regrets...
Semper Fidelis...
