Bio 

Completed Military enlistment in December 1969. Worked in the Private sector until 2002 until I was forced to retire by my cardiologist after several heart attacks and 5 death experiences. Currently, I assist Veterans as a volunteer to get registered at the VA and help route them to the right personnel to obtain benefits that they have earned. My best job of my entire life was Drill Instructor.

Military Experiences

Platoon Sergeant
By far the BEST job of my entire life. It was both an honor and reward to help people to perform at their optimum level and realize that you would help form the future for each and every Trainee in your control. I was also honored to be awarded recognition as Cadre man of the Cycle for the results of the Trainee's scores and accomplishments. I have never reached job satisfaction at a higher level than I had while Serving as a Drill Sergeant! (Did I mention that I LOVED it??)
