Military Experiences

Jul 1993 - Feb 1998
Special Duty - USAF Solar Observing Optical Network (SOON)
Couldn't have picked or designed a better 22 year career. Retired from here. Then went on to be an engineer for NASA @ Armstrong Flight Research Center in CA from then to now.
Jan 1985 - Jul 1993
Special Duty - USAF Solar Observatory (RSTN/SOON)
Tried to extend one more year to finish a project, but was told the General said "Get off my island". 8.5 years in HI was a lot of fun. Plus over 30 TDYs to Italy and Australia.
Jan 1984 - Jan 1985
Deputy Chief of Maintenance
Great assignment, lots of history. Great food. You just had to look out for the UXOs that were all over the place.
Oct 1981 - Jan 1984
Weather Maintenance
I separated for 10.5 months. Missed the people and camaraderie. This was my first assignment back. I wanted out of here the day I got here.
