I wanted to get as far away from the federal government as possible. I had options for 6 figure contracting work, but said "HELL NO!" Also, due to bad joints, I can't really stand OR sit for prolonged periods. So I went into pizza delivery while I attend school. Once I am fully credentialed and degreed, the plan is to do adult education, primarily working with prisoners. This way I can still give back to my community without working for the federal government which gets more disgusting and corrupt with each passing day.

Aerospace.. Prior to enlisting in '65, I worked in Design on the Saturn V/S-1C. After separation, I worked on various aircraft programs. In '76-'77, I worked at Rockwell international, Space Division, Downey, CA on design of the Space Shuttle, Upper Deck of the Crew Module.

To be honest, anything that had to do with mechanical engineering or security. I did enough photography and video way too much and too long. I did like photography in general, but I witnessed so many bad things through the lens of a camera so, I decided to go a different route.

Transportation, trucking especially was the plan. it hasn't gotten that far yet. I am currently a Supervisor working in manufacturing, a dying skill in our country. Making a product that everyone uses every day of their live, door knobs! as the very first civilian job in my life, its a pretty good jig. however trucking will happen....some day.
