My introduction


                My name is Tyler Ashmore and I’m a 26 year old student here at WWTC.  I’ve lived a pretty interesting life so far taking me from Wisconsin to Iraq and a few places in between.  I enlisted into the military straight out of high school and signed up for a 3 year contract for active duty.  I was stationed at Fort Benning, GA for those 3 years, but during that time I did a 15 month tour in iraq, my first tour, but it wouldn’t be my last.  I finished my contract with active duty and signed up with the national guard.  I enjoyed the guard because it kept me close to home, but I ended up having to do a second deployment to baghdad. 
During the last year I’ve been to Munich and Berlin in Germany; Krakow in Poland; Prague in the Czech Republic; Kuwait; and Iraq.  I was able to experience several different cultures which I enjoyed doing.  I was also able to attend the official “Oktoberfest” in Munich, which was a great experience.  I plan on returning to europe again to backpack a bit longer than the two weeks I was limited to at the time.
I tend to think of myself as a humerous person.  I enjoy laughing, listning to music, playing music, and am currently learning to play the guitar. I enjoy doing things outside as well as inside, leading to a few more hobbies than i currently need. I play paintball, build computers, play video games, and just kick it with a few buddies.  
I look forward to learning more about yourselves in the blogs to come.
