Current Update - I am nearing the end of my expatriate assignment in France and thinking how different things are going to be when I get back to Houston.

They also got to see the student demonstrations and riots in London, which was a bit more exciting than most things on the schedule that day. More to come as things begin to wind down over the next 3 - 6 months....

While stationed in Japan for four years, I took advantage of the opportunity to travel to Korea and the Philippines. In the United States, I was stationed in North Carolina, California, and Massachusetts. My occupational specialty in the Marines was that of a combat engineer for the first few years, then I worked in headquarters and service functions my final five years....Expand for more
