Rodney served in the USAF on active duty for 10 years and then joined the NC Air National Guard for another 8 years. While in service to his country, he gained vast amounts of knowledge about deployments and military life. During Operation Desert Shield/Storm he was stationed in England and was tasked as a Security Forces Augmenter. He was a participant in the Project Warrior Initiative and his aircraft was utilized in the theater of war.

As an Aircraft Technician he maintained attack and cargo aircraft. He augmented in the Mobile Aircraft Fire Fighting System Program, helping to airdrop flame retardant/resistant chemicals on ground based targets in the western US. In the recent Operations Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom he was deployed twice to the theater of war. He was assigned an extra duty to restructure the Mobility Bag Program in his unit and maintained the deployment bags for forty people.

His travels led him to 11 different countries and 27 of the 50 US states. In total he served for 21.5 years and was medically retired in 2006. His passion has always been military history and he has started a blog page to help disseminate information to families and members of the armed forces. Writing is his hobby and his goal is to provide helpful information, stories of hope, and enable veterans and current military members to share their experiences while deployed.
