Bio

I initially thought of joing the Navy in early 1970 because my Dad was in the Navy in the 1940's , but I was drafted in April 1970 and served 24 years in the Army with duties as CH-47 aircraft repairman, Platoon Sergeant,CH-47 flight engineer and Instructor, served as Aviation Operations NCO, Logistics NCO and unit First Sergeant, served last two years as Senior Logistic NCO, at Installation level. Also a Vietnam Vet. I am continually inspired by our military.
