It's a long story, but I started out as a paratroop infantryman, then to paratroop anti-tank, then to leg arctic infantry, then as an PSG/E7 made transition to MP Corps, by being permitted transfer to an MP battlefield circulation control company as a platoon sergeant, and then proceeding through the NCOES system. I actually ended up as chief instructor for NCOES schools detachment. My actual basic was Leonard Wood and original AIT was Polk. I am probably/more than likely considered a rarity, but my route began as a grunt. My MOS: 11B/H/4PP4C2>95B5M. (And also along the line I picked up 63B.) I know, it is weird, but its true. Another oddity about me is that I am also ADHD which might explain..........Funny to is that I have served on duty with both Marines and Gator Navy and have some affection (not unnatural) for both. Anyway, my younger brother Dave is a Deputy with Maricopa County (Medal Valor, ex-SWAT) in Arizona and I just recently retired from the Prison System here in Iowa as a Captain (CSII) and CERT Cmdr. If you are confused after my explanation, I assure you, no more than I. Oh, one other thing, my last stint of duty was as a Signal Unit Senior Evaluator. I know, weird! Takes all kinds, I guess. Ride safe, Rich

Like you "plate on the bike". I have a personal plate ona one car ( bronze star plate that reads "2 N JOY" my other car plate is a bronze star plate read " NOWAR" meaning now army reserve. . I haven't bought a plate for the bike yet but am thinking about it. the holder for my bike plate is a Vietnam palte with my unit and years served there.
I'm switching post and will be with Post 232 in Polk City, IA.
Hope things are going well for you

At 11:33am on May 4, 2008, Norman Hockett said…: Jon, thank you for your service/ I got back from afghanistan in November, traded my 05 Ultra off and got an 08 Ultra. Got 1200 miles on it now.
