Description
In the interview, Wayne Scrivner talks about being born and raised in Winchester, Kansas. He joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 1988 and served until 2002. Scrivner’s basic training took place at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Scrivner did special training at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. His Military Occupational Specialty was as an ammunition specialist. He was deployed as part of Desert Storm, but he was stationed in Crailsheim, Germany, instead of in Iraq. As an ammunition specialist, he loaded ammunition onto trucks, which were then shipped out to where they were needed. After leaving the military, Scrivner got work as a certified nursing assistant, which he had been doing before joining the military. And he used his benefits from the GI Bill to attend nursing school. At the end of the interview, Scrivner regrets not going to college before enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserve because he would have received a higher rank going into the military.
