  3. I enlisted in August of 1982, retired on 31 Dec. 2003. I retired as a Master Sergeant. My primary MOS was 03. I spent two tours in Infantry Battalions (first in 1/9, then in 3/1-to include the 1st Gulf war) as a Scout/Sniper. From 3/1 I went to the School Of Infantry (west) to be an Instructor, from there I did a tour as an Adviser to the Saudi Royal Marine Forces. After leaving Saudi I went on MSG Duty as the Detachment Commander for the Marine Security Guards at American Embassies, first in Budapest, Hungary, and then in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. After MSG duty, I went back to the School of Infantry where I was the Chief Instructor at the Infantry Platoon Sergeants Crs, then I moved over to run the Sniper School until I picked up MSgt, after which I became the SNCOIC of the Academics Section for all of the Courses of Instruction there at SOI (W), and that's where I retired form.
