I am currently a Sergeant serving as a Heavy Construction Equipment Operator on Active Duty. I served from 2004 to 2011 had a break in service, and returned to active duty in December of 2012. I didn't return because I couldn't find a job, I returned because I felt like I didn't do everything I wanted to. I also missed the brotherhood and mission focused personnel. While out of the service I worked as a Underground Miner, and Heavy Equipment Operator in North Dakota. Prior to my break in service; I had been stationed at Fort Lewis Washington, Rose Barracks Germany, and Camp Casey Korea. While at those assignments I served in many different positions everything from Armorer to Squad Leader.
Upon reporting to my most recent unit I was informed that I would be deploying. This will be my third deployment once to Iraq and Once to Afghanistan and the third being to Afghanistan again. While deployed I plan on working out as much as possible in between missions. I want to return from deployment finish my preparation for SFAS and attend with in personally set time frame. I recognize that DA might have other ideas for me when I return but that is my current outlook.
 
I started train up prior to my return to the Army. My first APFT after my return, I scored a 251. One and a half months later I scored a 261. I continue to improve. My ruck march times are slow honestly as the furthest I have done in since my return has been a 16 miler. I was able to consistently move at a four and a quarter mile pace. Now currently trying to get into theater I am still exercising but my ruck marching has halted. I plan to utilize the different elevation here as a training helper. I will continue to update my progress as able.In addition to my earlier post I have read Get Selected twice, started memorizing the Ranger creed and practicing on plotting points for land Nav Prep.
