I joined the Navy in October of 1982. 
While aboard Ranger I was an Aviation 
Boatswain's Mate Equipment 
(Catapult and Arresting Gear)
ABE attached to V2 Division in the Arresting
Gear Work center. I then cross rated to
OTM (Ocean Systems Tech) and then
STG (Sonar Tech).

I retired as an STGC (SW) in February of 2004 
in Virginia Beach, Va where my family now has 
decided to take up permanent station. 
I’m working as a defense contractor now.
