From the South end of the Sacramento Valley to the Southern third of Oregon and from the West Coast to the Nevada state line, one thing remains constant – mountains and trees; BIG trees.

During this Thanksgiving season, I am reminded that very few get to do this career that I find myself in, again.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve my country and to...read more

This year we vowed that we would not lose and bring the coveted Army/Air Force helmet back to AFNORTH Battalion....read more
