Navy, 17 Years
Active duty naval surface warfare officer 1975-79, thereafter served in the naval reserves. Duties included commanding officer of various seagoing combatant units including direct support of Desert Storm. Additional short-term duties at the Naval War College and the Pentagon in various strategy, exercise, and policy functions. It was a tough decision to leave as a full Comander (O-5) but I was called into greater service to full time ministry.
