CurtisJ75

I was born here in Sarasota, FL and moved to Rochester, WA in 1987 and started 6th grade there, age 12, and graduated in 94 and moved a week later (1800 miles south) to the bottom of Cali - Blythe, CA in the desert, with an older girl 22-years-old - well that lasted a year, then I flew home to Sarasota in early 1995.

My grandmother had the whole family go to a Christmas service and within a few months we were all active in Church, Sammy my uncle on guitar, I helped run sound and lights. So I was a dedicated Christian for three years. I started working at Altas Van Lines in 96, and went all over the state, and then the whole Country for almost 4 years.
I joined the Army in 2000 and did Basic at FT Jackson, SC, and AIT as well. Got stationed at Bragg, NC and was there my whole enlistment.

I was single since 1995 and finally tied the knot in 2003, which lasted just 2 1/2 years. She chose a different path, as a nice way to put it, and I was single after that mostly until being with Allison since May of 2010.

The highlight of my life was deployment to Guantanamo early 2002 after 9/11. Worked on an FBI, NCIS, OSI, and CID task force interrogating detainees, it's classified after that, and then was deployed with my unit to Iraq following the main invasion in 2003 and returned stateside in 2004. Did a semester of college full time during active duty, civilian clothes and all! Only reported to accountability formation in the morning, twice a week for a semester. Rockin!

My sister died in early 2005, she was 19, beautiful and the best friend anyone could have.
I got out of the Army for emergency purposes in Oct. 2005.

I've had good, but always hard jobs, shipping, construction, warehouse, forklift and machine operation, - and just started full-time with an industrial/commercial electric company - so I started school at Phoenix in early 2009 and am now a Junior for Software Engineering.

Having lived in four states and been to all continental 48 and being expert in four industries, with a Bachelors Degree 85% complete, I feel writing on related topics can help people find answers in their searches for everyday problems/issues.

I will be finished with a BSIT/SE in September 2012.
I live by the beach and kick it out there whenever possible, still learning guitar, and the drums. Haven't been in Church much, but will re-dedicate soon enough.
I want to plan a road trip where I can meet all of the friends, family, and military friends I haven't seen in years!!!
