So How did I eventually end up in Texas? The great state of Texas, Ft. Hood more specifically, was my fathers most often assigned duty station. Eventually my parents bought a home there and when my father retired stayed. I completed High School while my father was assigned to Ft. Hood. Killeen is the local city that connects to Ft. Hood and is located in Central Texas about 45 miles south of Waco and 60 miles north of Austin. After graduating HS, I entered college where I'm currently working on a degree in Computer Engineering. I'm a Junior for the 1999-2000 school year.
