James's Story
Life
There has been a lot of time and miles seince my departure from SCHS along with some great experiences. I've been wondering for some time now what others in my graduating class have been up to.
After graduation I joined the Navy and spent several years in schools and on vessels. I have had my fair share of being "haze grey and underway", for those familiar with the Navy saying. While in the Navy I was a Gunners Mate and a Search and Rescue Swimmer, serving in Great Lakes, IL, San Diego, CA, Yokouska, Japan, and Everett, WA. After finishing out 5.5 yrs. in the Navy I went to Commertial Dive school and graduated July 1, 99 and worked as a commertial diver for a couple of years. After the short stent in the Dive industry I decided to go back to ...Expand for more
school and finish my degree. Finishing my degree proved to be a challenge as during that time I had 2 children and worked full time. In June 04 I finally graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in History. I am currently working as a Firefighter in Downtown Seattle and will be doing this for the rest of my life. I really enjoy the daily challenges and thinking on your feet this profession requires. I am also serving in the Army National Guard and anticipate a trip over to the "sand box" in my near future.
That is the Readers Digest version. I hope that everyone else in my grad class and those reading this find their lives going better than they could have even planned as I feel. Best wishes and stay safe.
