Ted's Story

Life Hey all, I've been married since 1977 with 2 daughters and 5 granddaughters! A grandfather at 39! I joined the Army in 1980 as a helicopter turbine engine repairman. From 1980 to 2008 I have been around the world from South Korea, West Germany, Haiti, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and the UAE. I have done things from the US Army rifle team to lifeguard to Information Management Officer. The military saw fit to medically retire me in 2008 so I am finally out of the active military. I am currently a Gov't contractor doing... drum roll...almost the same job I did with the military, scheduled maintenance on whatever helicopter they put in front of us. I think the motorcycle wreck in 2007 put me over the top for cumulative injuries I guess. I did sell a Sportster and traded in the trike to get a 07 HD Ultra "Geezer" Glide due to my Electra Glide being totaled in the wreck. I was kinda lucky after flying 160 ft that I just broke a leg and some ribs. I have 1 Harley, a dirt bike, a pickup truck (issued to me when I moved south!!),and a Jeep. I love being in the wind. I currently live near Raleigh, NC. I spend most of my time off fishing in the pond, working the yard and house and riding the HD's. My oldest daughter has given me 5 beautiful granddaughters and lives near me. My youngest is now out of the Air Force and is living with us. I have applied to go work on helico...Expand for more
ptors in SWA for a couple of years. Should be interesting being back in that area as a contractor. I love being a mechanic and still helping our military, may they always stand tall !! I am passing on an acronym I heard this week...BODAB... It stands for Big Ol' Dumb Ass Boy !! I hear they are not just in the South ! Update: I will be at FOB Salerno in Afghanistan for the next year or so. Right now I am in Kuwait waiting on transportation. HOT!! Update: Ended up spending nearly 3 years in Afghanistan. Lots of rockets, mortars, truck bombs, and the occasional stray bullet or 6! Went back to the states and worked at Sikorsky in Coatesville for a few months. Lived with my Dad in West Chester over by East High. Loved getting back the land of cheese steaks, shoofly pie, tastycakes, and BEER! I left there and went back to the mid east and have worked in Kuwait for 15 months. I am leaving for Abu Dhabi, UAE on Jan 8th. A little less pay but better "quality of life" and supposedly safer. I am looking forward to being at the reunion this Nov and can't wait see everyone. It is pretty good here. My new pic is from 2012 when I decided to not shave or cut my hair for about 10 months. Can you say "the homeless guy?". LOL Anyone wants to visit the UAE send me a message, I'll have a place for you to stay and explore Dubai and the UAE if you would like to. TED Take Care...Ted
