70th Explorers Garrison: Forums

Please welcome a new member of the 70th Explorers who has transferred in from the sunny and warm area of Hawaii in the Pacific Garrison - Brent Carroll. Brent is in the army and was transferred to Ft. Leavenworth. He's anxious to meet everyone so let's make him feel welcome here in his new home. Welcome to the 70th Explorers, Brent.

Welcome!!!

Aloha Trooper! Can't wait to troop with you in the future!

Aloha and greetings to all of you!

A little introduction is recommended I'm sure so here goes:

Born 1971 in Arlington, Texas. Dad worked for the government so we traveled around the world a lot. Got to see Star Wars in the Empire theater at Leicester Square in London on premier day and have been a devoted fan ever since. I attended C1 and C3. I was deployed for C2 I am currently in the Army as a Military Intelligence Captain with a focus of Human Intelligence (open source collection against foreign enemies). I have just been reassigned to the Combined Arms Combat Center at Fort Leavenworth for who knows what!?!?! I have been married for 14 years to my awesome wife Shari this June and have 2 amazing kids Hunter and Haylee, who just turned 5 on Saturday.

My hobbies are of course my children, collecting Star Wars toys, tweaking and modding my armor, hunting, diving, playing FPS (Battlefield 2142), and looking to get some dirt bikes to start busting some trails around the Missouri River. I am also looking forward to some warmer weather so I can get my 2007 Suzuki GSXR-750 out on these windy roads!

Its been a very chaotic past few weeks and have been overwhelmed with the move and also getting into a new house. In fact things have been not stop solid activities since the day I got back from Iraq back in October!

I am looking very forward in participating in several 70th get-togethers as much as I can because the entire family supports Star Wars and the 501st. In fact my son who turns 10 this year is also a big fan:



We made some really good friends with the gang from the Pacific Outpost and were sad to leave but with the Army paying the bills it is tough to get in one location and stay for more than 4 years. Jon, Tory and the rest of the guys were a super group of friends and really made the 501st experience known throughout the islands. Each event I attended with the my family was a blast for all of us including the kids and for those folks we were performing for!

I look forward to getting together as often as possible (Army job makes unannounced changes to my plans often).

Thanks again for the warm welcome and hope to meet with you all soon.

Brent
