Happily married to the love of my life. Looking forward to empty nest syndrome. Ha! We've got four gone and two in various stages of know it all. The gene pool can be a tricky place.

Living in paradise. Enjoying the beaches, the pool, the people, the food and our grandkids and doing some traveling.
I thought I'd be golfing in retirement, but 20 years in the Corps broke me down pretty much completely. So many surgeries and almost 100 pieces of metal and other objects in my body, I do spend a fair amount of time at various doctors. Thankful that there is excellent medical care here in Charleston.
Awaiting word on VA hearings (who isn't?)
Best Friends These Marines, sailors, and civilians were very influential to me during this tour...Dennis Stratton, Pete Tibbetts, Paul Kaplan, Lance Jensen, Bill Dodd, William Hosea, Bob Tessier, Al Williams, Ed Nocon, Mark Burdette, Kerry Dougherty, Stephen Covey, and citizen of da earf Klaverkamp.
Best Moment It's a tie between the day they allowed us to keep our frequent flier miles and The Eddie Snow Farewell Tour... My last year on active duty.
I was privileged to learn from some incredibly wise humans and to teach and facilitate teams in Pearl Harbor, Kaneohe Bay, Okinawa, Yokosuka, Iwakuni, Sasebo, Trident Training Facility Bangor, Lemoore, Camp Pendleton, MCAGCC, NAB Coronado, Yuma, Dallas, Quantico, HQMC, and Cherry Point.
It was a great way to go out as I was fully engaged to the last day. I met my bride.
Chain of Command TBD
Other Memories Al Williams trying to communicate in Okinawa. "SHIATZU" LMAO
All of Dennis Stratton's "birthdays". He must've had 40 in one year alone.
