 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

After leaving the USMC I had a 6 year break in service. I toyed with coming back in the USMC however that did not work. I just completed a 34 total year flying career with the USAF. I was LOADMASTER on C-130s, C-141s, and the C-5 aircraft. Finished up in January of 2008. I am enjoying every day at home now. Doing what ever I want to.

   
Other Comments:

I will always be greatful for my years in the Corps. I carried that time with me into the Airforce and tried to make it a better place for us all.
