Military Experiences

Apr 1984 - May 1992

Special Forces Recruiter

JFKSWCS, SOCoE, USASOC | Fort Liberty, NC

Initially started the SF Recruiting program when USAREC took over the mission to recruit for JFKSWCS. We had a eight man office with World Wide responsibilites and was TDY nearly 9 months a year. After several years several new offices were opened and we traveled less. I was the Fort Bragg Station Commander of SF Recruiting. Now the command has over 200 people assigned to recruit specialty personal all over the world. Was promoted to MSG to go work in Los Angles about the time Rodney King was getting his ass whipped in the streets of LA and I retired rather then go to the Assignment of Senior Recruiter Trainer for the Los Angles Army Recruiting Bn.
