    CSP is what you make it.

    A picture of your gun is worth 1,000 words. A crappy picture is only worth 100.

                            U.S. Army

                            Was in the Army from 5 Sep 78 to 6 Sep 81.
                            MOS was 95B10. Military Police.
                            Took Basic at Ft McClellan, AL
                            Spent my entire tour in the FRG.
                            D Battery 5/6 ADA, Hontheim, FRG Jan 79 to Aug 80.
                            503 MP Co, 3AD, Friedberg, FRG Aug 80 to Sep 81

                            Being an MP was both extremely exciting and boring. A lot of responsibility for an 18 yr old kid from Kentucky. Really had no idea what I was getting myself into, but wouldn't trade the experience for the world. Spent a lot of time on the "road" and in the field. Met some not-so-nice people, but met some of the greatest people on earth as well. My experiences in the military made a huge impact on me as a person and as a human being. Definitely opened my eyes to the world around me.
