About Me: HELLO,
I AM SGT FLORES, AMERICA. I AM A PETROLEUM SUPPLY SPECIALIST AND A DETAILED RECRUITER FOR THE UNITED STATES ARMY. I HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO IRAQ TWICE (2004-2005 & 2005-2006) AND ONCE TO AFGHANISTAN (2008-2009). OVERSEAS I WAS STATIONED IN GERMANY (2001-2005) AND STATESIDE STATIONS INCLUDE FT. CARSON, COLORADO, FT. HOOD, TEXAS, FT. LEWIS, WASHINGTON, AND SALEM RECRUITING STATION OREGON. BEING IN THE ARMY HAS CERTAINLY WIDENED MY VIEWS, KNOWLEDGE, AND OPENED SEVERAL OPPURTUNITIES TO TRAVEL AND MAKE STRONG RELATIONSIPS I WOULDN'T HAVE OTHERWISE. TO ME THE ARMY IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. HAVING A DAUGHTER MYSELF ALLOWED ME TO SHARE THOSE EXPERIENCES WITH HER WHILE ALSO PROVIDING HER THE BENEFITS (AND PERKS) THAT COMES FROM BEING A SOLDIER. I AM GLAD I JOINED WHEN I DID AND AM PROUD TO CALL MYSELF A SOLDIER.
