Attended US ARMY Basic Training: Ft Jackson, SC. Basic training is where every soldier receives training in the basic military combat skills. Since the main business of the Army is national defense, it is essential that each soldier is fully versed in the basics of combat regardless of the branch in which he or she will serve.

Platoon Sergeant: South Carolina OPFOR Regiment. In order to train its soldiers realistically and effectively, The US ARMY created its own Opposing Force or "OPFOR".

This allowed American troops the ability to sharpen its skills while fighting against a Soviet-trained enemy.
