Jennifer Niezgoda:  

Life I guess you could say my life motto is "Where to next??" Despite having all the college opportunities available to me after High School, I entered into the Navy in 1993, served on an Aircraft Carrier (Lincoln) for 3 years. Got out w/ Med discharge, and moved to NJ with my daughter, Marissa. In finding a position out on the NAES Lakehurst Navy Base as an Environmental Technician, I met my current husband Scott *winks* a much better match for my personality then my ex-husband was, I assure you. Nothing like someone to enjoy life on every level. We are very much into outdoors. Our methods of madness include heavy 4x4ing (the real stuff....Got Mudd? Rock Crawling and Jeep Jamborees with heavily modified vehicles, 4x4ing in Paragon Offroad Adventures Park in PA, taking our quads - ATVs for you other lesser knowledge :) - anything and everything to get us out and pushing limits. We are adrenaline junkies and I think that has a lot to do with our choice of extracurricular activities *chuckles*. Along the way we had another daughter to add to our family...Robyn. Now Marissa is 11, and Robby is 7, and they crack us up. As far as everything else: Just as recently as last April I graduated and became a Massage Therapist, and also in April 09, Scott became a Commissioned Limited Duty Officer (LDO) in the Navy. Still a Seabee, but instead of being a Chief and leading crews, he's doing it from the Civil Engineer Corps side. *Chuckles* As far as how I am today,I am still pretty easy going and like to laugh and have fun *eyes twinkle*. Right now we all left CT and moved to MS (yayyyy Gulf Coast woot!). Enjoying soaking up the sands and sun, and once I get licensed to work in MS as a Massage Therapist, it's on! College I attended an IC "A" School in the Navy. 19 week course worth 60 credits transferable to a college should I be interested in working in Electronics again (which I am not). Received a full scholarship from the VA, for University of Washington (UW) Physical Therapy degree program upon being discharged from the Navy. Unable to attend do to a spouse's military move. Then I attended Oxnard College when Scott got stationed at Port Hueneme, due to location and availability of an Nursing Degree course. Of course we transferred JUST as my name popped up on the waiting list to start the Nursing Courses lol. So we moved BUT *grins* I still manages to get an Associates Degree in there lol. I will probably have 3 degrees by the time my family and I retire from the Navy, and none from the same school. All are in progress. ;) Gotta love traveling! LOL. I guess I just like learning....I did manage to go to UCONN for a bit, but the Environmental Reseach work in the Long Island Sound took me away from home too much, so I dropped that...and then Massage Therapy dropped into my lap out of nowhere. Who would have guessed? Turns out it feels like I should have been doing massage all along lol! Guess the rest of my schooling was just a bunch of pit stops along the way ;o) Doesn't matter now. I've found my "Calling" and it's awesome! Workplace Was Active Duty Navy from 1993-1996. Upon getting out, I accepted a position with Tecom-Vinnell Services in Lakehurst, NJ. Worked as a contractor on the NAES Lakehurst Navy Base as and Environmental Technician. Obtained over 11 environmental awards for the base through out the next 4 years from OSHA, EPA, and various other programs. Worked in Hangars 2 & 3, ones that are currently ...Expand for more
