1987-1990 USMC Reserve
1990-1998 USCG

High Points:
Seeing all the Caribbean Islands for free
Doing humanitarian duties during the Cuban and Haitian mass migrations
Spending two weeks in Honduras working with their Coast Guard. Gave me an awesome opportunity to see and meet the people.
Being apart of the crew that towed a Carnival cruise ship to keep it from running aground

Low Points:
The war on drugs and witnessing first had the amount of money wasted
The war on drugs!
For the 3 years I was on the ship, I had no normal family life-got divorced.

Would I do it again?
In a heart beat, of course when I got out, I was ready to get out. But reflecting back now, there are some really awesome moments that I never could have experienced without joining.
Only regret that i have is that I didn't follow my original plan of getting a commission in the Marine Corps.
