I joined the army in 1990, at 17, and served as an infantryman in Iraq during the Persian Gulf War. I joined the Illinois National Guard in 1996 while in college, and served until 2006, when, shortly after returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom, I realized that the Army and I were better off without each other. It was a mutual breakup.
I served my time in Baghdad during 2004-2005 with the 10th Mountain Division, working as an interrogator at a Brigade Interrogation Facility. It was quite an interesting experience...so interesting, in fact, that it literally blew my mind.
I returned to peace in Chicago, Illinois, where I enjoy living each day.
