U.S. Navy Radioman
AV, Were you by chance dropped in country as a forward air controller for the Navy bombing runs? I ask because a dear friend who has since passed away was a Radioman in the Navy. And that's what he found himself doing, which he wasn't all expecting when he went into the Navy. It's always seemed really weird to me that the Navy had to have their own forward air controllers on the ground there.

Woodworking. I've done many different kinds from framing houses to custom cabinets and trim. The most challenging kind was stair and handrail building. I don't do that work anymore. I'm currently a professional woodcarver.

It's making just the right chair so you're comfortable, alert, and productive.

Well, there's a whole lot to it besides just chairs, but boy those chairs are important.

I like sitting in a classroom extending my years of education. I really don't have anything that new to say. My field of expertise relies on putting to use my 6th grade comprehension skills without much plagiarizing.
