U.S. Marines 1974-78. Aviation electrician and avionics on KC-130's, A6 Intruders & TC-4C (modified Gulfstream I with mock cockpits for A6 fire control (bombadier) training). Came within "a couple of sheets of paper" to going to Nam for the Embassy evacuation. Outside of schools, stationed in Cherry Point, NC and flew all over the U.S. Got out during the peanut farmer's administration when there was runaway double-digit inflation and interest rates of 21%. It looks like were about to relive those days.

Went to school on GI bill and picked up FCC licenses, later Airframe & Powerplant. Spent several years traveling all over the western hemisphere as an avionics field service engineer for Mitsubishi Aircraft.
