Terry's Story

Workplace Everything from buss'ing dishes to buffing floors during High School. After High School I was offered a scholarship to USMC for four years. Learned lot's; from buffing floors to high explosives or maybe it was buffing floors with high explosives, I can't remember... Okay, over a year of A school and I was granted the right to endanger the pilots of VMAQ-2 and VMAQ-4 with my Comm/Nav/Radar skills. As noted above I spent a year in Memphis in A school for Avionics then 3 more months on EA-6B aircraft Comm/Nav/Radar specific training in beautiful Whidbey Is, WA. Then 2 years in the swamps of North Carolina with VMAQ-2. Luckily VMAQ-2 spent most of its time deployed around the world; Iwakuni Japan, Subic Bay, PI, Guam, etc. Lastly, I spent one year teaching reservists how not lose body parts in aircraft back up in beautiful Whidbey Is, WA. I spent 18 years of my life as a Navy brat and 4 in the Marine Corps. I thought I'd do it as a career but I wanted more school and college called. A year and a half at the Butte College home for wayward youths in the Electronics program with the same teachers I had in High School (thanks Mr. Pope)! I took a break in my school career to be a road warrior for PG&E's General Construction dept. 22 years later I'm still with PG&E. I've done everything from Telecomm Apprentic...Expand for more
e which entailed climbing 200' towers and stringing fiber optics in manholes to flying in helicopters to microwave sites in the Sierra. I spent a stint as a Telecomm Engineer even though I didn't finish my BSEE. Later I did Project Management of some large IT projects. I grew tired of the politics of management and went back to doing something technical. I currently push bits as a Sr. Unix sysadmin on large Solaris and AIX systems. I miss being outside but I'm home with my kids every night and that is what really counts. Military Four years with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. (Ques: What's the difference between the Marine Corps and the Boy Scouts? Ans: The Boy Scouts have adult supervision). Made Sgt (E5) before they caught me. I worked on various comm/nav/radar gear on EA-6B aircraft and traveled the world. Born San Diego Recruit Depot, Plt 1101 "A" school in Memphis, TN FRAMP in Whidbey Is., WA VMAQ-2 in Cheerless Pit, NC (and various ports around the world and closer to home) VMAQ-4 teaching reservists how not to pick their noses back in beautiful Whidbey Is, WA. Came to my senses and decided to make more money on the outside Well, after 36 years I've hung up my hard hat at PG&E and am now a man of leisure. I'm in the process of applying for political asylum in Idaho.. If you're in the area stop by and say howdy.
