" About me"

Hello! My name is Sharron Cousin also known as Sharron Anderson. I was born and raised in Truckee, California. I have a ten moth old daughter, she was born on March 3rd, 2007 at 3:00am. Her name is Alexis Mari Cousin. My husband is currently in Afghanistan, he is in the US Marine Corps, he will be there for six to seven months. We met when I was in the US Army and we where both stationed in Hawaii. We were not on the same base but we met at a club right after I got back from a year and three months deployment in Kandahar, Afghanistan. We were married on November 27th, 2005. I have currently been out of the military since December 15th, 2007. I am now a stay at home mom that is attending college here at Sierra in Truckee and I spend time with my daughter throughout the day. My husband and I are happily married but because of the military living in two different parts of the world is quite hard. That is one of the downfalls of marrying someone in the military. I am taking this class because I thought it would be interesting and very informative. I really want to get a feel from a different perspective and more educated people's perspective on family's. Maybe I can learn something from this class and put it to good use. My job was a 92-y which was a Unit Supply Specialist. My rank was a Corporal, which is a rank in between specialist and Seargent. I flew around to different fire bases and supplied other soldiers with basic needs. Such as; food, water, clothing, ammunition, bathing supplies, and many other supplies. It was a great experience but, I can honestly say that I never want to do it again or visit that country ever again. Third world is a horrible place to live and I feel sorry for those who do. I am glad the USA has what it has other wise we would have a lot of conflict in our country like their's. I learned never to take things for granted and I will always remember that. I will try and teach my children that but, somethings a person needs to learn on their own, just as we all have.
