Domenic's Story
Life
I have spent the past 30 years in the field of training. I spent 10 years in the US Army, and NJ National Guard as a Field Artillery Forward Observer, where I was required to conduct training as part of my duties. After leaving the Army in 1987 I attended Montclair State University in NJ, and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in History/Social Studies and a minor in African American Studies. In 1991, I began my career at the Department of Veterans Affairs and worked as a Claims Examiner, Training Specialist, Training Consultant, Budget Consultant and my current position working for the Executive Secretariat, Office of the Secretary at VA Central Office in Washington DC. I currently live in Gaithersburg, MD with my lovely wife Ewa, and daughter, Samantha.
School
Any former classmates reading this probably do not remember me....I can barely remember myself during that time in my life!! I was the typical Bart Simpson, Underachiever!! I was a run of the mill student, going thru the motions, attending classes, and doing just enough ...Expand for more
to get by!! I often tell co-workers that I majored in "Metal Shop" which isn't really a stretch of the truth!! Hope this finds all my fellow classmates in good health and good spirits!!

College
After spending 4 years in the Army....going to college was a blessing!! Montclair State was convenient and a really great school!! Got my teacher certification, but realized teaching kids was not really my cup of tea. But it paid off, since it helped me to get my job in the field of training.
Military
June 1983....I had been out of high school for 3 years. Going to college part time, working part time, just floundering. Remember the "Be all that you can be" commercials? Well, that and the promise of $5000 got me to join the Army!! I was a Field Artillery Forward Observer and spent 5 months in Ft. Sill, OK, 2 years in Bamberg, Germany, and almost 2 years in Ft. Hood Tx. For 6 more years, I spent time in the NJ National Guard doing the same thing.....Now I work for Department of Veterans Affairs (since 1991)...Go figure!!
