Class of 1975
Army, 20+ Years
Joined the Army just to see the world for three years. Wow how plans change. Came back to the Beach and took a bride (Melanie Davison CLHS Class 77) and never looked back. With the help of Melanie' s parents we were able to travel all over Europe. We even went to the Royal Wedding! I did have to do SOME military stuff. I was in the MP Corps so there was alot of physical security. Last tour was at Fort Rucker, AL as an MP Investigator. I also have a Recruiter Ring for my three year tour at Albany, Georgia.
