Brooks's Story
I have just completed my 30 yr career in the U.S. Navy. I have been stationed Norfolk VA, Orlando FLA, Great Lakes ILL, Pearl Harbor H, and on 3 destroyers. I have been so many places around the globe it would be pointless to even talk about. I'm married 23 years, and have 2 boys. I currently live in Chandler AZ, southwest of Phoenix.
I always wanted to be a sailor when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a strange idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
Believe it or not, I lift weights, and swim to relax.

I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis, which I am told, is not noticed physically.
I like boxing, but only on a bag or speed bag now, due to injuries included with those above. I also like building model ships.
I had only a few close friends in High School, and would be surprised if most people did not remember me. Anyone who really knew me realized how much I wanted to move on. I was always preoccupied to attend a reunion.
I had many different jobs in the Navy, but my most memorable one was Basic Training Instructor. Otherwise my time was in the engine room, on smaller combatant ships, for example, destroyers and their escorts.
