I was in the Navy for 8 years. Transferred over to the civilian sector for 14 years as a contractor. Recently I went Government and am a GS-15 and the Systems Engineer and Program Manager for several of the USMC and Joint products you see may see on TV fighting the war(s).

I have been giving to and dedicated to the DoD all my life. Many friends and good times. No regrets.
