Re-enlisted at age 47 after 9-11


Hey fellow Oath Keepers,

I am a former US Navy Corpsman who served with the 2nd Marine Division.

After 9/11, I simply had to do something, sooo I reapplied to the Navy and was told they had no use for a guy my age (47) at the time. Went and applied to the US Army National Guard (NH) and was told they'd love to have me serve.

Long story short, I wound up in Paktika, Afghanistan attached to SOCOM as a Civil Affairs Medic taking care of local nationals and getting intel on Al Qaeda, and the Taliban.

Served
there in 2004-2005.

It was a life changing event for me to serve our country again.

And since my return from OEF, there is a new danger on the horizon. There are those to whom we entrust with preserving our liberties who seem hell-bent on our constitutions destruction.

I have taken the oath twice now, and have never disavowed mine. I am proud to stand with my fellow brothers in pledging my life in defense
of liberty!
