Veteran U.S. Army/ Full Time Student- 23 years of age
I was Honorably Discharged after completing my contract of 4 years as a weapons/artillery mechanic. Now I attend Michigan State University in pursuit of a Bachelors of Science in Anthropology.
I am a Ducati enthusiast at heart. Rode many other bikes when I had my 848 to find what I really wanted next. But the 1199 only made me go running to the dealership with a paycheck in hand! I wanted a slice of this revolutionary pie. Still haven't found another machine to put a bigger grin on my face
I actually don't make much money at all. I live off of a housing allowance, and disability from the VA. I have always tried to be much wiser in my spending than the rest of my generation, which through persistent management allowed me to pay for my 848 (now sold) and my 1199 with cash. I have a good running car that had a newer motor installed last year and I live in a newly remodeled house with another veteran from the Marine Corps (We joke back and forth in good fun all the time). No rich family. All my money has been earned through a little elbow grease!
I have many plans for the future ahead. Either finish my degree in Anthropology (More specifically Archaeology), join ROTC, or become a civilian contractor. Thanks for the post! I hope you all have a Happy New Years!
