Started out with 600 troops, ended up with a task force of about 800. Did the ground war 2003, 2000 and came back. Went to the Pentagon, did some good things there. When I retired they asked me to come back again and help them with some very unique things we were doing to stop soldiers from getting blown up by IEDs on the roadside bombs. and did a whole lot of work with that. Sold my company in 2019. Couldn't wait to get the heck out of Northern Virginia and come down to God's country here in eastern North Carolina. (04:13–04:22)
