I went to UW La Crosse for a fun but, nonproductive semester. Then I got married and joined the Army. I went back to school at night while stationed at Fort Polk LA. After 3 years of night school I got out of the active Army for 18 months and used my GI Bill, National Guard pay, and wife's income to graduate from Northwestern State in Louisiana. I got a Masters of Arts in Management in 2006 from Webster University. I went to school at night while I taught classes to new Lieutenants during the day. I just completed a second MA in Leadership Studies from UT at El Paso studying nights and weekends like before. I paid for the UTEP program and the Army paid for the Webster program.
