Bio 

Loved serving USAF and USAFR, would do it all over again in a heart beat. Disabled Combat Veteran, unable to work, take enough pills to choke a horse. Nerve damage and exposure to Balad AB BurnPits in Iraq and Afghanistan have me a walking mess, most of my organs need medications to function. Doctors say I lost 20 years of life expectancy but one day at a time. GOD can work miracles. :)

Military Experiences

Feb 2007 - Aug 2010
Air Reserve Technician
Aircraft Maintenance training, be aware, that if you take this position your Reserve career stops at E-6. You train others to advance above you unless you play the politics, which I didn't and I paid for it by being forced out. I retired and moved to Boeing QA with 787 production rather than play the kiss A$$ game.
