David's Story
College

xception was the work I did on the Flight Management System (FMS) used for almost all Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft. The FMS was a very fancy autopilot that could even takeoff and land the aircraft.

After 4 years in intelligence again, I have just started (Jan 07) a new job working with encrypted communications systems.
Military
entered the Army in Jan 78, basic at Ft. Leonard Woods, MO, advanced training at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, IN, assigned to Ft. Huachuca, AZ, left in Dec 82 - don't really miss the military life, but had a good time while I was in. I was a computer programmer and worked on some interesting stuff - communications, intelligence, spectral analysis, engineering support.
