 Additional Information
What are you doing now:
I retired from the Marine Corps as a Mustang Captain, and MGySgt in the Staff NCO ranks. Since I retired I have worked at a couple of supervisory positions. One of them was for a manufacturing corporation in Vista, California, near where we lived at the time, in San Marcos. A couple of years later I worked as a volunteer firefighter in Cherokee Village, Arkansas. (We lived back there for five years). I was elected, and served, as the President of the Volunteer Firefighters Association in charge of 20+ firefighters. We covered three fire stations with a number of different types of firefighting apparatus which included forest fire suppression capability. I had some very exciting times while serving in that job. And, other than that, I have had a couple of fun, "just-for-something-to-do" kind of jobs in an effort to keep busy and stay out of trouble My interests are: Motorhoming; off-roading, blue water sailing; hiking; shooting pool; and down-hill skiing, but mainly, just plain old having fun and doing my very best to not take life, nor problems, nor people, nor any damn thing else too seriously . . .
