Gary's Story
Life
I am attending college part-time. Separating from my wife. Have four teenage children. Back in Michigan after a couple of long stints in the Marine Corps, and the Army.

illery school at Ft Sill. This is the place where Paully Shore made the movie "In the Army Now". From there I was stationed in Tacoma Washington, and then on to Schweinfurt Germany. While there I was shipped to Kosovo in the early stages of the Kosovo Conflict. Now I am back in the real world, trying to raise my kids.
Current
I now work for Eaton Corp, formerly known as Aeroquip. I am an NDT Technician. I basically do X-ray and Fluorescent penetrant testing on civilian and military aircraft hoses and fittings. I am still attending college part-time, working on a Business Management degree. On the 28th of January I became a new grandfather to a baby girl named Adrianna Rose.
