How to begin

My name first of all is Garrett. I am 21 years old, currently living in Huntsville Texas. I work as a Correctional Officer in the Wynne Unit, which is a love/hate thing at the moment. I was born in Texas, never lived anywhere else, and have no wish to ever move from Texas. I listen to country, alternative and classic rock, and once in a rare while techno and rap. I love to read, military fiction, science fiction, and some fantasy occupy my time much. Especially post-apocalyptic survivor books. I also love to travel, I have been to three other countries (Mexico, Canada, and England) and 26 states. I dream of being able to visit every country there is (soon as I win the lotto and have my mansion, jet, and playboy wife right?). My favorite trips were to London, New York, Chicago, and around Texas.

A lot of this blog will be about what happens at work, though it isn't nearly as exciting as television makes it seem, we do have interesting moments. I work the maximum security section of the prison, where all we deal with are inmates who do rape, murder, drug dealing etc AFTER being in prison. Also we deal with all the major gangs, who are moved to our department soon as we know about them. They have cells to themselves, rarely leave, and like to act stupid so there will be some interesting stories I am sure. We are the responders for fights, riots etc; we must wear stab-proof vests at all times, wield at times riot batons, gas grenades, gas grenade launchers and more, just because of the type of inmates we deal with.

I cannot think of anything else at the moment, so I shall stop rambling. Later I will put up some old happenings that I have saved.
