Navy early years, no I did not retire. Ive got 2 boy's that were racing motocross, 15yrs old and 18yrs. Their bike #'s were 15 and 92, thats were the 15 and 92 dad came from! That was my screen name in the MX forums, Proud POP! Back to the toppic at hand,
Test and Trials Mechanic/opeator taking the Navy's newest badass ships to sea for testing and evaluation for 12 yrs.
Now I am a Gov emp, GS-12 NSWCCD-SSES site manager doing the same thing except now I am on the other side of the fence and the boss, I have a team that goes to sea with each ship to ensure we, the tax payers and the GOVT are getting what we paid for. Before I used to have to demonstrate to Govt Rep that the ship is ready for sea and to fight! Now I am that Govt guy! Isnt funny how life turns. I LOVE THE USA and am proud to be part of the DON, Dept of the NAVY!

Lead technician at a Chevrolet dealership. Laugh all you want, I've made a really good living at it for 7 years. Electrical, auto trans, duramax, driveability, alignment, etc. I do it all and hate every minute of it. Too bad it's all I know how to do for a living.

Welder/fabricator on the side (hey, I had to spend the G.I. Bill money on some kind of schooling!!)

Married 2 years (been together 6) . No kids (no plans to either), 3 horses, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.
