I took time off to go overseas to help James aka dad with his business. He's part owner of an international pharmaceutical equipment manufacturer and because of the recent boom in the Middle East economy, the medical and hospital industry also started to flourish. James called and asked if I wanted to join him and I decided at the time that it was an opportunity of a lifetime.
Even though business has been doing very well, I've decided that even though Middle East is a country in progression, it's not where I want to be and a part of me misses my family and California. So, I decided to move back here to join the Air Force/Air National Guard, because I want to protect the great grizzly bear state, California.
In a nutshell, I took time off for work experience and to broaden my horizons, so to speak.
I've included my resume, so you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Hi, I don't understand. Is this meant to be a letter that will be sent to a potential employer, along with a resume? Such letters normally begin by saying what job you are applying for, and then go to highlight the main reasons that they should give you the job.

Hi,
As I said, it's very chatty and casual. And the Middle East is not a country.
I'll just take a quick look at the English.

PreciousJonesJames aka dadThis is very strange. Is James the writer's Dad? Then say so, or just leave out his name and call him "my Dad," which would be more natural.. Is James called "Dad" as a sort of alias? Unlikely.

I've decided that even though Dubai is a country in progress and is on the rise, it's not where I want to be, and part of me misses my family and California.
Is this better?

Business has been doing very well, but I've decided that Dubai, a country in progression and on the rise is not where I want to be and a part of me misses my family and California. So, I decided to move back here to join the Air Force/Air National Guard, because I want to protect the great grizzly bear state, California.

Hi,
Yes.
Past tense would make it sound like 'you' no longer live in Dubai.
Present tense sounds like you still do.
I assume all this extra information is a good idea. You could just say
