Michael's Story

Hey everybody, I have been pretty busy after high school. I worked for various places such Nissan Diesel of America, Boeing, Raytheon, and Lanehart Electric. After many dumb jobs I decided to join the Navy on 20Apr99 as an Electronics Technician. My first ship was on the east coast in Norfolk, VA. Luckily, I have only had one deployment and was able to visit countries such as: Puerto Rico, Bahrain, Turkey, Slovenia, France, Crete, Spain, Croatia, and Seychelles (This is a small island off the east coast of Africa and since I crossed the equator I am now a trusty shellback.) During this tour I met this wonderful woman whom I married on 28Dec02. My next duty station was in Great Lakes, IL. as an instructor. I taught in the HF transmitter lab.

uated from DeVry University with a Bachelors of Science in Technical Management ¿ Magna Cum Laude. For those of you in the Ham radio world I earned my FCC General License ¿ KC9LMW, General Radiotelephone Operators License, and Global Maritime Distress Safety System with Ships Radar Endorsement. My third and present duty station is on the USS Princeton (CG-59) in sunny San Diego, CA. I love it here and it is by far the nicest place I have lived. I am a Wok Center Supervisor and in charge of 7 people unless I am the Lead Petty Officer for the day then I am in charge of 20. My specialty on this ship is an EHF, UHF LOS and SATCOM, LINK 11, 16, 4A, IMARTSAT, and fiber optics. Two weeks after I checked on board I deployed and visited these countries: South Korea, Hong Kong, Guam, Hawaii, and Japan. This April of 2009 will be my ten years mark and I am still having fun. This is me in a nutshell so far. Tell me how you are doing and hope to talk to you all soon. Best Wishes, Mike
