Brett's Story

Life WOW... where to start with this one, eh? I apologize for the novel in advance! Well... after RHS, I was off to Oregon State University in Corvallis for six wonderful years as a professional student (I changed my major twice)! I was a member of the Air Force ROTC for 3 years, trying to earn a commission in the Air Force following graduation, but that fell through due to budget cuts the Air Force was making in 1992. Following that, I realized I missed the comraderie I found in the ROTC, so I joined a fraternity - Phi Kappa Psi. What a great experience. While I was at OSU, I went to Europe (Italy)in 1994 on a 3-month student exchange trip, and then again to London, England on a work exchange program for 4 months! Cool - however, that opened a very large "can o' worms"!! Recently, I had the opportunity to go to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the Carnaval (Feb 06) festival. What an experience - par for the course when it comes to travel I think. I graudated with a B.S. in Math Sciences, which I have not used since! I moved to Portland for a while to work week-to-week while looking for the "real" or "career" job - this continued for about a year until I realized I was never finding that real job... SO...Expand for more
, I joined the ARMY!! Beat Navy! Anyway. I just got out of the Army (I was an Intelligence Analyst) in March 06 - finishing 7 years active duty and 1 year in the DC Guard. Now, I have a great new job with a government contractor in the DC area. I was married (WAY wrong person!) in September 1999 to someone also in the Army, had a daughter (now almost 6), got divorced, and am now just having fun being back "out there" at 36! Recently have begun the study of Aikido at my place of work, and few things have been as enjoyable to become a part of - it's a great challenge, but extremely rewarding, always with more to learn. Successfully earned my 1st belt (5th Kyu) - what an eyeopener that was! Few things have been as difficult or as rewarding when obtained as that was. Guess I felt 35 was long enough to wait to finally start this. Now if only I could get myself to be willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane and go skydiving... Ha, ha... While there's much I wish I had done differently with my years at RHS, I do have great memories from that time - and many people I'd like to touch bases with again! Hope to hear from you guys - Oregon forever!! Sorry - just miss the west coast sometimes....
