Paul's Story
After I graduated, I left for boot camp destined to Illinois on July 3rd 1986. After graduation I went to Pensacola FL for flight training. Then to Moffett Field CA for school for the aircraft I would fly in. Then was stationed in Hawaii from 1987-1992. From there I went to Maine from 1992-2000. From there to New Orleans LA till 2002. Then back to Maine from 2002-2006 Completing my 20 years of service. During that time I was married, had a son and adopted another. Then divorced. I met the woman of my dreams while stationed in New Orleans. She moved to Maine, we married. Upon retirement we moved back to PA, but not back to Pittsburgh. We settled north of the city.

my time in the service I was able to see the world, some good and some bad. What I have learned in my experiences is that (1)The United States is the greatest country in the world. (2) That when things seem to be at there worst, don't let it get you down grab on and deal with the situation. (3) Things do happen for a reason learn from them. (4) Life without the perfect soulmate is not one to live. (5) Cherish the time with your children, you never know when you might lose them. I hope all of you are doing well, following your dreams. My life would be a whole lot worse if I hadn't met all of you thru the Journey.
