T.J. Thompson

I am 30 years old, married (for 9 years to my high school sweetheart), 2 kids ages 8 and 6 and a dog. I served six years in the Navy with 3.5 onboard USS Portland, LSD-37 from 2000-2003. During that time I deployed to the Med (00-01), UNITAS (South America, 2002), and Iraq (2003). We dropped Marines off at the coast of Iraq for the initial invasion. I am very big into music and DJ on a local radio station. I am also a chef but not cooking anywhere right now. I am interested in heading up a Hampton Roads Chapter of IVAW. Any other members from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach or Northeastern North Carolina please contact me! I joined IVAW to let people know that there are options out there - I had trouble in the military and I want to help ensure people don't suffer the same ways I did!
