History:
Joe grew up in Mattapan, a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts, not far from the Neponset River. Joe’s father worked for the city of Boston and was a self-proclaimed alcoholic. For years, the old wouldn’t quit even when he knew he had a problem. He would pronounce, “why the fuck should I quit? I love beer!” Eventually, he had done the 12-step process but always seemed to fall off the wagon. He had a difficult time remaining sober. The old man was arrested for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI) when Joe was 12. Things started to get better for Joe after that. Before the arrest, Joe’s dad, Bill used to beat him if he stepped out of line.
Joe’s mother Kathleen worked as a Paraprofessional for the Boston School District and loved her son immeasurably. She considered divorcing his father until he enrolled himself into a detoxification facility and then joined Alcoholics Anonymous. His mother enrolled young Joseph into a Martial Arts program in Milton, MA specializing in Kung Fu for children. Joe achieved a black belt by age 16 and then trained in the adult Krav Maga program. At the age of 18, he graduated from High School and left Boston behind, but not Krav Maga.
Joe Beaulieu enlisted in the US Army after High School into Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 11B infantry in July 2012. Upon graduation from Infantry Basic in October, he transferred to the Airborne School where he spent four weeks earning the coveted silver Airborne Wings. By mid-November he found himself at Camp Darby on Ft. Benning working to earn a Ranger Tab. By Mid-January, Private Beaulieu earned the black and yellow Tab and was on his way to his first duty assignment which happened to be the 1st Ranger Battalion at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia. Effective 1 February 2013 Joe Beaulieu was promoted to Private First Class (E3). While with the 1st Ranger Battalion, Joe was able to continue his Krav Maga training with his unit. The Unit trained in the Israeli Self Defense form as part of their Physical Fitness Regimen. Although, they did not award belts like the Martial Arts School in Boston, Joe increased his skill with the self-defense training.
In March 2015, PFC Joe Beaulieu was shipped off to Vicenza, Italy. PFC Beaulieu was assigned to A Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment (AIR), 173rd Airborne Brigade. When Joe arrived, he learned his battalion was deployed to the Ukraine in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. After spending a week getting settled into the barracks in Vicenza, he was shipped off to Ukraine to join his unit. The battalion rotated back to Italy in September 201. Effective 1 April 2015, Joe was promoted to Specialist (E4).
On 16 December 2015, Joe Beaulieu completed the Basic Leader Course at Flint Kaserne, Bad Tölz, Germany. He then transferred to C Company, First Battalion, 503rd PIR, 173rd Airborne Brigade and assigned as a team leader. He was given the rank of Corporal (E4) and effective 1 April 2016, Joe Beaulieu was promoted to Sergeant (E5). When his first End of Time in Service (ETS) approached in July 2016 he re-enlisted for another four years. This meant his second ETS date would be in July 2020.
In July 2016, Sergeant Beaulieu was assigned to A Company, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry (Iron Rangers), 1st Infantry Division, Ft. Riley, KS as an Infantry team leader. Sergeant Beaulieu would remain with the 1st ID for the next three years, due to PCS in July 2019.
Joe Beaulieu eventually found the entrenchments and remnants of Fort Riley as well as the civilian enclave at Grand Junction to be untenable. Since 98% of the soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division turned into Darkseekers, they took to living in the underground tunnels and entrenchments dug by the soldiers before the asteroids struck.
Joe and his companions left Fort Riley in search of other survivors and a place they could live and survive unmolested by the dark seekers. They believed the mountains of Colorado would be a good place to start. They ended up at Fort Carson, Colorado, just south of Colorado Springs.
