I'M CHRIS.  I AM CURRENTLY ENLISTED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY.  I'VE BEEN STATIONED AT C COMPANY, 1-61 INFANTRY, FORT JACKSON, SOUTH CAROLINA, 5TH SIGNAL COMMAND, 44TH SIGNAL BATTALION, & 72ND SIGNAL BATTALION IN MANNHEIM, GERMANY, 187TH MEDICAL BATTALION, SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, WITCHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AND III CORPS, FORT HOOD, TEXAS.  I'VE BEEN DEPLOYED TO KUWAIT AND IRAQ.  CURRENTLY I AM WITH THE 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION AND OUR UNIT AND I ARE CURRENTLY DEPLOYED TO IRAQ.    IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME PICTURES OF MY PREVIOUS DEPLOYMENTS, PLEASE GO TO THE PHOTO GALLERY AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY PICTURES THERE. 

I JOINED THE UNITED STATES ARMY IN 1998.  I DON'T KNOW WHY AND I'M STILL NOT SURE WHY.  I SHOULD OF JOINED THE AIR FORCE.  I THINK THE ONLY REASON THAT I JOINED THE ARMY WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO END UP LIKE SOME OF MY FRIENDS IN LOUISIANA.  MOST OF THEM ARE NOW IN JAIL, DEAD, OR STILL ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND THAT WASN'T WHERE I WANTED TO BE.  SURE IT WAS FUN BUT I WANTED A BETTER LIFE.  I COULD OF ENDED UP IN JAIL.  SO FAR, SINCE i HAVE JOINED THE ARMY, I'VE PARTIED MY ASS OFF IN GERMANY, THEN I GREW UP AND BECAME A LOVING AND DEVOTED HUSBAND AND FATHER, WHICH I AM REALLY PROUD OF.  IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD, BUT MOST OF THE BS THAT I WENT THROUGH (MOST OF IT IN HIGH SCHOOL) HAS SUBSIDED AND THINGS ARE LOOKING BRIGHTER FOR ME.  I'VE CLIMBED THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ON THE GERMAN/AUSTRIA BORDER, THE ZUGSPITZE (ZOOG-SPITS-SA), SNOWBOARDED THE CHEMSIE (KEEM-SAY) MOUNTAIN IN GERMANY, VISITED THE CONCENTRATION CAMP OF DACHAU (DOCK-COW) GERMANY, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CONCENTRATION CAMPS NAZI GERMANY HAD OPENED UP.  I HAVE GOTTEN TO DO AND EXPERIENCE THINGS THAT I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IN A HISTORY BOOK.  I AM PRETTY PROUD OF WHAT I DO.  BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO MAKE SACRIFICES FOR THE ARMY THAT I DON'T LIKE.  LIKE BEING DEPLOYED FOR SO LONG, COMING BACK, AND FINDING OUT, HEY, WE'RE GOING BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR.  WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO A COUNTRY WHERE EVERYONE HATES YOU.  IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO BE THERE.  I'M THERE BECAUSE IT'S MY DUTY.

ANYWAYS, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT.  WELL, THAT'S A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ME.  I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE OUR WEBSITE.  I'VE SPENT A LONG TIME AND STUDIED HOW TO MAKE MY WEBSITE BETTER.  TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK AROUND.  THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW.
