LENGTH OF SERVICE:   1976-2003
RANK:   Colonel
LAST ASSIGNMENT:    Office Chief Army Reserve
POSITION:    Senior Program Budget Officer
CURRENT STATUS:   Retired
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:  The military has afforded me the lifestyle that I would not have experienced as a civilian.  I have had assignments from unit level to Department of the Army (Pentagon) both Non-Commissiond Officer and as a Commission Officer.  I have travelled throughout the United States and overseas.  I have met people from all types of backgrounds and ethnic groups.  The most important thing the military have taught me is that we are all family (regardless of our background, where we live or our beliefs).  The support that I have received from both military and cilvilian personnel throughout my career, along with the blessing of God and a strong mother, has made me what I am today and has helped me reach the rank of Colonel..
