Spent 9 years as a Hospital Corpsman and when I got out I ran a lab for Louis Rich testing turkey parts, blood, serum, sinus fluids etc. Even went on sites and collected specimens. Did all the logs on all the incubators, everything. I think I made 8.00/hour. If I was lucky. Even did serial dilution for a strain of poultry influenza! <br /><br />And to think the Navy didn't know what they had!<br /><br />Debra Gwinn<br />HM2/USN<br />12/78 - 12/87 PO2 Debra Gwinn Tue, 12 May 2015 02:43:35 -0400 2015-05-12T02:43:35-04:00 2015-03-27T10:55:37-04:00
