 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

After 14 1/2 years of active duty I transferred to the Marine IRR in 1989 and served as an inactive reservist for about 9 years after which I finally separated from the Corps in 1997.  During that time I went to college for 2 years and subsequently worked 16 years as an engineering draftsman.  In 2006, after a break in service of 9 years, I joined the Army for a second military career which included both active and reserve duty.  My military service finally came to an end when I retired from the Army reserve in 2013.

Since then, I've been enjoying a less stressful daily routine and finally caught up with my high school peers by graduating with a Master of Science in Space Studies. I also recently obtained certification from the FAA as a drone pilot, and passed the FCC test for HAM radio operator (Technician level). Now I'm looking for a job that will enable me to put to use all of these newly acquired college degrees and federal certifications.
