0 John T 744 Report post Posted March 8, 2004 Thats great Reed. Glad to here he came home safe and sound. He is a true blue American Hero and no one can ever take that away from him. How much more time does he have left in the service and does he plan on making it a career?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 reed 500 Report post Posted March 9, 2004 Mikes date of seperation from the Army is in June. He has decided to get out and go back to school using the money he saved with the Army for school. He plans to go through the ROTC program at Southern Illinois University and go back in to one of the services as an officer. My oldest still rotates with his airplane and crew over to that area every 3 to 4 months but no way near the danger Mike had in Kirkuk. Reed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
