Michael was deployed from Fort Riley, KS to Afghanistan the first week of December 2009. He was stationed at FOB Wilson, near Kandahar. On January 3, 2010, while on a routine foot patrol, he was seriously injured by an IED. The same event claimed the lives of his Air Force companion and three soldiers from Fort Carson, CO.
This blog chronicles the events of Michael's life from his injury to the present day. He is now the author of this blog; is married, is a father and lives in Texas with his guide dog, Xxon. His injuries are now healed, he is retired from the U.S. Air Force and is planning on what to do for his next adventure.

Getting scuba certified

Michael is planning a scub diving trip with his brother-in-law this summer.  He was in New Mexico this weekend to continue working on his scuba certification.  Here are a few pictures from the class....
 He had a small audience of small boys.
He covered his prosthetic eye when he jumbed in so it would not pop out.

Putting on the gear.
