Scott's Story
Life
I got remarried in March and now have a beautiful little girl(Jacquline). My wonderful wife has let me get my Harley after all. It only took 10 years to get another one.
Military
I went to boot camp right after graduation, I proceded to FireControlman "A" school in Great Lakes and on to BPDSMS "C" school in Mare Island California. While I was there I got to enjoy the sun and the earthquake of '89. After that on to Norfolk where I spent a long four years aboard the mighty war pig Guam(LPH-9). During that time I made 3 deployments, 2 were police actions and one was the first Gulf War. I got to travel the world, meet alot of interesting people and kill them. I then took a four year hiatis, got married and divorced, lived in Roanoke working dead end jobs and realized I missed being underway. I reenlisted in '98 and became a Tomahawk tech. I was then stationed ...Expand for more
onboard USS Porter (DDG-78) which hadn't been built yet. There I met several lifelong friends. I also learned how to travel to foreign lands and kill people I had never met from a long way away. In '03 I transfered to shore duty at what is now MARMC (old SIMA). Within a week I was sent to security for a year and spent most nights standing watch on a gate of the Naval Base. After that I went back to my parent command and became the LPO for the IT department. Then with only six months left, the Navy in it's infinite wisdom decided to make me a Chief. Now I am onboard the USS San Jacinto(CG-56). I guess we will see how this one goes.
I left Cg-56 and went back to shore duty at MARMC as a Tomahawk and Harpoon tech rep. After 3 years I retired from the Navy and was picked up as a government employee doing the same job. As of Jun 21 I have been a GS for almost 10 yrs.
