I have been many things to many people. I once told my story to some guys during a chat session . A few of the guys were amazed at all I have done. I did not think my life was so interesting.

During my adult life I have worked as:

1. A janitor

2. A gas station attendant (remember those). Someone actually pumped your gas, washed your windows, checked your oil, and put air in the tires.

3.A pipe fitter/welder/fabricator in the chemical industry.

4. A crew chief on Army helicopters during the Vietnam era. I always wanted to go to Vietnam, but never got the chance. I did two tours in Germany.

5. I changed my military specialty to communications and spent a few years in combat signal battalions.

6. A pilot and flight instructor. Yes, I actually tried to get into the aviation field but could not compete with all the military pilots getting out after Vietnam.
I was working, but could not make a living for my family, so I returned to what I knew, Computers.

Since leaving the military I have spent my career working in the Information technology field, working in the gas industry and health care. Currently, I work as a Systems Analyst (A fancy term for a PC desktop technician). I am currently employed by M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
I have to say that this job has been the most rewarding job in my civilian career. Knowing that I am doing my part to Make Cancer History really feels good.
