kenneth's Story
I guess it's how time to tell my story and of my journey through my life. After High School finished in May 1966 I continued to work at Albers supermarkets and to go to the University of Cincinnati in pre law until the draft board got very hot on my case so in December 1966 i joined the Airforce and was to be trained as a Jet Engine Technician and i was then as life has ways of throwing all of us a curve from time to time. The Air Force changed things for my self and my life started another path and i went down a different road. I was sent to another Air Force school and was trained as a Air Traffic Controller (Combat). well all of us that remember the times and conditions of 1966-67. Vietnam was getting even hotter after training as a traffic controller i also continued down the path of a jet Engine Tech and became a very good person for the combat aircraft. then at the same time I continued with the air traffic area wet several time into the whole area of Asia working in both fields seeing all the Countries in South East Asia.
My military years lasted about 6 years and after being injured in the military and recovery I left the Air Force in 1972. This is when the whole of the world opened for myself. I when back to school at New york institute studying Electronics after the end just over 3 years i received my Bachelor of engineering and went to work of all places the United States department of Defense in Arizona at the Hughes aircraft plant where several missiles where built. less then two years later i was reassigned Fort Huachuca army installation also in southern Arizona and remained with the DoD earning a Masters and Doctorate in Electronic Engineering. at the same time i also worked a second job as a electrician and later a master electrician working...Expand for more
with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for over twenty years. Most of my life i worked two full time jobs doing very well in both. Along the way I was blessed with two fine children the oldest Shannon N. and about 18 months later a boy Jason M., I also have eight grand children and a great grand child on the way. As the years go by and age starts coming on one the wisdom sets in and a person sees the things differently. I have grown along the way to understand we in United States of America do not truly honor the veterans of this nation. We pay a first term member of the house of representatives over $200,000 per year giving them about 8% pay increases each term and have not given our ones whom's lives are on the line a single pay raise in over 25 years the members in Congress receive millions of dollars and all they can steal in gratuities kick backs and billions of dollars in political contributions. Some of which is legal and some which is not. Then we as a nation will only pay the ex military known as veterans whom bears the nation scars 24-36 thousand dollars to live on. My fellow classmates and all who may read this I pray you force the Congress to fund the veterans hospital's at a 100% staffing and care for the newer veterans returning from the wars of the world. The USA can not be the police of the world with our young minds being lost on the world's battlefields. please go back and put in place what our government teacher, B. Reckers taught all of us many years before and many years after myself, My fellow classmates it's our country not the liars and thieves with there staffs we in America choose to Congress and this must include all administration's from the days of president Truman.
