Brad Moore:  

ly-owned low voltage contractor. I wasted 11 years there that I'll never get back, but on the bright side learned enough to help me get the job I have now, which is Installation & Repair Tech for SBC. I've been with them for over six years, and love it. Military On May 14th, 1984 (Mother's Day, as my mom still makes a habit of pointing-out) I started my enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps at the Recruit Depot in San Diego. I graduated and claimed the title on August 3rd of that year. I'm not even going to go into why I did it, or how hard bootcamp was, if you're a Marine you know, if not, you'll never know or understand, no matter what Hollywood or other people tell you. I went to my "A" school (where you are educated and trained for your primary job) at NAS Millington, near Memphis, Tennessee to learn the job of Airframes Mechanic(structures). From there I had more advanced training at MCAS El Toro/Tustin, Ca. Then in March of 1985 I recieved orders for my permanent duty station, MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hi., where I was assigned to HMM-165 (the White Knights.) It was home for the next three years, but twice my squadron was detached and sent to Okinawa for six months each time, and from there I spent time in mainland Japan and Korea. My enlistment ended on April 5th, 1988. No regrets...
