Bill Rehm:  

ing, and got a contract job as a Windows NT technician with 3M. After that I landed a position as UNIX sys admin with BRC Healthcare. In 1998, I moved to Denver and worked for J.D. Edwards, first doing support for their OneWorld software on NT, UNIX, and AS/400 platforms. I tired of that and moved to the Advanced Technologies division where I helped develop new... technologies, and traveled around the country doing network performance tuning. I left there in 2000 for my dream job as an IT Director for Adam Aircraft Industries. Unfortunately, I was laid off after two years in the job, right when the IT market was in the toilet. I settled for a supervisor job with Best Buy and worked there nearly a year. My wife got a new job in Austin, so I transferred with Best Buy, but six weeks after I got to Austin I started my present job with Temple-Inland. I'm now a OneWorld/EnterpriseOne integration developer and loving every minute of it. Military My first day in the USAF was December 2, 1987. My life changed forever when I walked up to the dorm at Lackland AFB. I graduated basic training with honors, then went straight to Wichita Falls, TX for basic loadmaster training. My next school was C-5 loadmaster training in Altus, OK. Those were some great times... but it was only 8 short weeks. I was sent back to my unit for a few weeks, got my dollar ride, and then was shipped off to combat survival school at Fairchild AFB in Washington state. That was another defining moment in my life, let me tell you. I survived and began my OJT back at the unit. All told, I was on active duty for over a year. From January 1989 to August 1990, I was a 'reserve bum', flying twice as much as my active-duty counterparts. In August 1990 our unit was activated for Desert Shield/Desert Storm where I served with distinction, earning the Air Medal (among others). I left the service after Desert Storm in August of 1991 to pursue a career in the civilian world.
