Bio
I began a career as an investigator with the U.S. Treasury Dept in 1975. I retired as a Special Agent with the Treasury Inspector General Office in 2003. As a Special Agent I earned my Certified Fraud Association certification. It is on the level of a CPA certification. I haven't kept it up since I retired. As a Special Agent I investigated bribery, assaults on employees, embezzlement, disclosure.
I ETS'd from the Army in Nov. 1973. I began my career with the U.S. Treasury Dept. in Sept. 1975. I retired from my Government service after 31 years in January 2003. My wife and I then built a horse ranch to breed and raise Arabian show horses which we still own. I try to travel around the country three or four times a year and spend three months during the summer, off the grid, at my land in SE Wyoming.
Military Experiences
Apr 1971 - Nov 1973
Programmer Test Station Operator
After basic I went through Pershing Missile Crewman School at Fort Sill. I was assigned to 'C' Battery 3rd/84th FA in Neckarsulm, W. Germany. I was promoted to Programmer Test Station Operator ( Spec. 5 ). I rotated from Germany and spent my last 6 months back at Ft. Sill. As a PTS operator I was responsible for programming, operating and maintaining the countdown computer for the Pershing Nuclear Guided Missile System. Intelligence data, gathered from various sources was input to the computer and from the data targets were selected. Azimuth layers provided directional data which was fed through the PTS into the guidance and control section of the missile. An air or surface detonation sequence was selected and the missile was ready to countdown and fire.
