What are you doing now:
I'm with Marine Corps Base Quantico G-4, Transportation Support Branch, as their Logistics/Maintenance Management Specialist (0346). After retiring, I spent several years with the Army PEO Soldier Night Vision and Thermal Weapon Programs, but now I'm back with my Bro's as a Civilian Marine :)

Other Comments:
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we Band of Brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother
