    Originally signed up to be an Army helicopter pilot (CWO) but recruiter said " you have only one attempt at the F.A.S.T. test and I can't tell you what to study". Scrapped that idea.

    Took the Nuke test for the Navy, passed it, enlisted as E3 at Great Lakes during the winter. Somehow landed in a ceremonial unit versus rifle company. Meant some gravy duty during boot. BE+E and EM"A" school. Didn't make the "cut" for Nuke school, shipped out to a minesweeper built in 1954. Minesweeper navy is said to not be real navy as a crew of 60 has E7s pulling up lines when mooring. Two tours to Persian gulf, Barge Hercules, Qatar, Al Jubail, and Abu Dhabi. Armament was a total of .50s, grenade launcher, and a stinger missile or two. Navigating mine fields at sea with a wooden ship was scary as hell.

    Was offered lots of cash or some high faluting education; bailed on all that.

    1st gen won't happen. The guy wants to wait 3 weeks to decide if he wants to sell it (depending on some medical bills). I'm not going to wait to only possibly have a chance at it
