For the next three years, Mike worked as a corrections officer and served in the Florida Army National Guard as part of the 3rd Battalion 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne). During Desert Storm, Mike attended Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), and the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC) graduating as a Special Forces Engineer.
