My name is Dave Matteson and I am an American living in Alabama. I was raised on the east coast and move to Alabama, where I have many relative, in the early 90's. I retired from the US Army in 2004 after 24 years of reprimand free service. I was an Army scout, Infantryman, Tanker as well as several other MOS's that I was never trained in but worked under. I also spent 10 years in the US Air Force as a Security Police Officer.
At the present time I am a computer teacher and recently resigned from NASA as a Protection Specialist.
While in the US Army and Air Force I taught armor ID and engagement, Air Base Ground Defense, infantry and armor tactics. Plus other combat ready skills for myself and my men.
I consider myself friendly and willing to work with others. I know when to apologize and I will defend myself to anyone. BUT I am not usually confrontational.
My hobbies are wargaming, military history, story writing, webpage building, model building, and a trivia geek.
I have a wife and 3 kids, my oldest is 29 and at a great southern college and will be receiving her PhD within the next year after she writes her book.
I welcome all question about my military career but please understand that I do abide by the confidentiality agreement I sign with my government when I retired.
You can call me Dave, David, Matt, Tanker...or buddy
Thanks for the time!
