Robert Pensa:  

Life After high school I left the Peoples Republic of New Jersey and enlisted in the Military (Thank God for that). I made a career with the Military serving in the Air Force as an aircraft machinist. I was blessed to serve with the finest unit the Air Force ever had SAC!

I can't say anything about what my job is now but you can be assured that it is tied to the military and always will be. From junior high through high school, I was ridiculed and made the butt of jokes because I supported the military and hoped to be part of those few that protected this great nation. I achieved that goal and had a wonderful, eye opening long career. I got to work with some of the best and most talented men and women this country has ever produced and under some of the most saver conditions anyone could imagine. Most of them were outcasts too for wanting to be in the military at that time. I was able to work on almost everything, from the Huge B-52 and KC-135 Tankers, to Helicopters, Fighter Aircraft as small as the OA-37 to the big A-10 and even Training Aircraft like the T-33. I also got to work on projects that involved highly classified items...Expand for more
