Candice's Story

Life I have four wonderful children three boys (men now actually) Douglas, 41, works as a heating and refrigeration Technician, and is married to Traci, the mother of my beautiful granddaughter Laura is 15 years old, and Cutie Christopher 18 years old), Michael 37, a bio-chemical engineer,and Jimmy 28, recently received a CDL license and is a cross country truck driver, and one daughter, Elesha 29, her education majors (two) Corporate Law and Corporate Accounting, is married to Ryan. Elesha has two wonderful adorable sons, and one beatiful baby girl, Samantha. (my grandbabies) Robert Tristan is six and Daniel is four and Samantha will be one in feb. I also have two really fabulous step-daughters, Dominique and Kaila, Dominique, 27, is attending college to be a Science Teacher, and Kaila 23, Kaila has a beautiful abby girl named Alaina, she was one in Sept. Their dad passed away, but they are still very much a part of my life. In 1983, and as a single Mom, I joined the Navy, to do just 'one enlistment.' Here I am 25 years later, retired from active duty. My tours included Haverfordwest, South Wales, UK; Keflavik, Iceland; Rota, Spain; Catania, Siciliy; Whidbey Island, WA; Adak, AK; Ford Is, HI; Virginia Beach, VA (twice! one to Dam Neck Training Center and once to NAS Oceana); Marine Air Craft Group 26, at MCAS New River, Jacksonville, NC (saw way to much action while I was there! including Guantanimo Bay, Operation Sea Signal; Bosnia; Ethiopia; and one Med cruise!) then to The Marine Corps Memorial Chapel at MCAS New River; on to Diego Garcia, BIOT; and finally to Navy Recruiting District San Francisco! I have lived and visited most of the European Continent and much of South A...Expand for more
merica. Singapore, is a magical place!! But London, England, Spain and Sicily attracts me like a moth to flame..LOL.. I visit those places often. I currently live in Orlando, Florida. Beaches, hot, humid weather, umbrella drinks, aaahhh... School Wow so much to say. I loved attending school, especially Encinal High. It was my social life. There are so many people I would like to see again. I attended a couple of High School rewunions for Kennedy High in Richmond, where I graduated, in 1968. I would love to see some old Encinal Buddies. College I used YOUR Tax dollars to complete my college education! I had to attend several due to my active duty military status in order to achieve my degree. But finally at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma/Seattle I recieve a BS in Management/Human Resources, and a MSSW in Social Sciences. Now we all know the UPS is a Law school, but I need a few more Law classes (4) and couldn't take them, so.. I took the BS the MS and ran! Workplace Ocwen Bank was by far the worst place I have ever worked. One woman, Sandy Myke, made life a living HELL for everyone in the VA Closing Department. Plus our supervisor, Keith Chapman, always took her side. Now if 22 people are having problems with ONE person.. then why would Keith Chapman take her side? SICK is all I can say. I have never seen moral lower than at Ocwen Bank, even in a military war zone moral was better. All I can say is, Sandy Myke is the main reason I left that hell hole. Military I have never had any regrets about joining the Navy. I retired from the Navy in Dec 2003 and now I now live in semi-retirement in sunny Florida for beach time and umbrella drinks! Ahhhh the life!
