About Me:

I am 21 years old and attended one year of college for firefighting before I enlisted in the Navy. I am trying to get as much training as possible out of the United States Navy so I can become a firefighter in the civilian world when I get out in two years. I am working on my apprenticeship through USMAP and am about 2/3 of the way through it!!!
