So after West Point, I ended up branching armor and became a cavalry officer in Europe.
I had shared some anecdotes that my grandparents were both World War II vets.
So my grandmother was a World War II nurse from Mass General.
You know I have a strong affection for her.
The Oracle, we called her, the great one.
But, you know, really an interesting time to have been in Europe.
The 50th anniversary occurred when I was there.
I had the ability to reenact a lot of parades for liberating cities like Strasbourg, France, that my unit had liberated back in the day, and it was just a really meaningful kind of moment.
We did also what they called the Partnership for Peace, where we would go –
shoot British challengers.
They would shoot M1A1 tanks.
Did the same thing with the French.
We actually did it with the Germans and their panzers.
Just a really
interesting period.
I ended up doing a European out, stayed in a reserve unit in Bamberg, Germany, and it was in the Czech Republic.
And I even, when I came back to the States, was in a reserve unit in Germany.
So I kind of hit all three echelons, I think, of service in that way.
But to me, it was just a great experience.
I was fortunate to have pretty high-performing teams and people that were very good.
