James Jaques
Class of 1958
Navy, 20+ Years
Enlisted and Officer via NESEP program. Served on surface craft, submarines (nuke and diesel) and aircraft (C-130). Not interested in wars any more - they are for young and indestructible people. The Navy sent me through both undergraduate and graduate schools - a good opportunity for both of us. Used Navy experience building aircraft carriers as chief engineer for Interior Communications and high speed networks on those ships for the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. (now Northrop Grumman). Then moved to the West coast and worked in special weapons for Northrop Grumman and later for L3. That's about it in a nutshell. Jim
