My Introduction

My name is Joseph Losinski and I am a freshman in the Justice program; I plan to become a police officer after earning my degree and attending the CTC Law Enforcement Academy. 
       I grew up in interior Alaska and have lived in either North Pole or Fairbanks since 1986; after I graduated in 2000 I joined the Marine Corps as an Infantryman and was subsequently deployed in the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003.  After getting out of the Marine Corps in 2004 I had already married my wife, Heather, and was expecting our first child, Joey.  My wife and I now have three children: Joey, 6, Genevieve, 3, and Samuel, 2.  I enjoy watching and playing soccer (when I have the chance), photography, and reading, preferably non-fiction books, such as Protestant theology, military history, and the history of photography and photo composition.
      I read the paper on the weekends, I usually send my oldest, Joey, out to fetch it for me.  I read the Bible on a regular basis and truly enjoy studying the teachings presented, particularly looking up the original Greek or Hebrew words to get a well rounded understanding of the authors intent in the text.  I read alot of magazines such as Newsweek and assorted photography periodicals but I consider most of that reading "fluff", akin to reading old issues of the Weekly World News, recently I haven't read anything of substance as I took a Wintermester course and that demanded most of my time outside of classroom instruction.
