I am a retired U.S. Postal Inspector and was assigned to Domiciles in Boston, MA, New Haven, CT and New York. From there I transitioned to banking investigations and ended my second career as the New York Regional Manager for fraud investigations with Citigroup. My third and probably last employment challenge has been as a private contractor with a major law firm in New York City as well as a large private investigations firm. Seems now that I'm in my seventies, I've finally run out of ammo and grenades. Traveling, daily gym exercise, softball in the Spring and Summer, poker games and walking my boxer Scout on daily jaunts are my general orders nowadays. I try to keep moving so the snipers won't get me. It's been a great ride so far.
From 1969 to 1970 I had the honor of being a U.S. Marine, something that I still take great pride in. My primary MOS was 0331,machine gunner(M60). With 4 days remaining before being deployed to Vietnam I was pulled out of line and ordered to report to the Defense Language Institute, West Coast, Monterey CA. where I learned to speak Vietnamese (Hue dialect). After two months of humping an M-60, my remaining Nam Service was spent as an S-2 Intelligence Scout/Sniper. I still maintain regular contact and visits with S-2 Scouts I served with even though we reside in several different states. We will always be Marines. Even in death.
