I've gotten to travel to over 50 countries within a 2 and a half year time span. I've spent some time on Midway Atoll and saw tiger sharks eat young albatross when they were learning to fly. I got to provide protection to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers and was coined for excellence in my duties and spent two hours talking to him on the plane ride. I've climbed Mt. Fuji twice and spent 6 weeks in Puerto Rico where I got an opportunity to explore the rainforest and the local islands of Culebra and Vallecas. I was at Ramstein Germany and flew my sister out for two weeks and went to Perris to see the Luv and Euro Disney. I can go on and on...
