Sgt Joseph Dyas...

> <> 1: Being a marine has been a dream come true since I

> was in the thrid grade. I was in 1/1, C Co, 3rd plt from 96-01 and then

> went to Virginia to teach at security forces. Virginia was nice but I

> wasn't around the real Marines ( Grunts ) and I missed them so I came on

> back to 1/1. My wife has been very supportive of me since we were in high

> school.

>

> 2: The person most influential to me has been my dad and my wife. Both

> of them because they have worked their tails off for everything they have.

> When times have been tough they kept pushing and have been a success.

>

> 3: Bestfriend, without hesitation, is my lovely wife, Jamie. We have

> known each other for over ten years now and it is terrific. Tt's funny

> that we started in HS and now we're here. Who would have ever guessed?

>

> 4: My ideal vacation would be to go to the Pocono Mountains in

> Pennsylvania and stay there for a week or so. Also, another cruise would

> be nice ( hint hint hint ).

>

> 5: Favorite food is anything that I don't have to cook myself. I love

> lasanga, pizza, and steak, not always in that order though. I enjoy going

> to the olive garden as well. Cars, I really don't care about as long as

> they get me from one point to another safely. I'd like to get a truck

> when we get back though. It's a guy thing. Io really favorite band but

> if i had to pick one it would be AC/DC. No real favorite actor or actress

> but Harrison Ford and Robert Redford movies I like.

>

> 6: I have two English bulldogs named Chesty and Cammie. Chesty is almost

> 3 and we got him 3 years ago the day after my birthday as a present from

> Jamie. Well, I really put her up to it. Cammie, I think just turned one

> and she is a ball of fire. Not as fat as Chesty, for those of you that

> have seen them before.

>

> 7: The reason I joined the Marine Corps is kind of strange so I'll leave

> it out so as to not scare the kids and the other family members that read

> this. My first six months I wanted out and there wasn't a chance I'd stay

> in. Now after almost nine years, I still love what I do. One, I love

> being called a Marine, especially by my old man ( dad ). That I will

> never forget. September 6, 1996 graduation day from boot camp. He always

> called me son or Joseph, but the first person I saw after we graduated to

> call me a Marine was him. What keeps me going in the gun club is the

> younger guys coming in and the sense of pride. The younger ones really

> keep me on my toes to say the least. I wouldn't be doing this without the

> support of my wife either. She has been the best and hopefully these next

> 11 years go by quickly. My family, and when the time comes, children are

> the most important. I want the chance to do things while I am still young

> and enjoy.
