Among his decorations are: five Army Accommodation Medals, three Army Achievement Medals, and six Good Conduct Medals. He is married, has two children, a house in Georgia, and a Siberian husky. Raymond’s interests include spending time with family, traveling, boating, fishing, basketball, and playing chess.
