Seth was deployed to Fallujah Iraq August 04- March 05 with Cssb-1. While in the Marine Corps he filled various logistics roles in garrison with heavy equipment and supply. While deployed he was part of convoy operations in and around FOB Camp Fallujah. He was recruited out of the Marines to drive heavy equipment for Schlumberger in and out of Casper, WY. All this fell through with a lack of support system for veterans and no real help from support groups, so he went back to his home town in Michigan. While transitioning into civilian life with a pregnant wife and 1 year old daughter he struggled to find jobs because of the economy and politics in Michigan. He left to come to Tennessee at the end of 2007 and found a job as a contract security officer with TVA. He worked my way up to various positions over the years and now is an instructor.
“I am proud to be a part of this project because I have gone down the long hard road by myself. With a lack of knowledge of projects like this, I struggled at times in my life. Having a support system and a place to go and belong with others is vital to rebuilding and coping with life.
