Carl's Story
Life
Hi
Well here goes
After High School I went to Chabot College for a couple of semesters, and with the draft closing in, I joined the Air Force. Spent a year in Biloxi Mississippi in electronics school. Then I started traveling and being assigned all over the world. Worked on the SR-71, U2s, B52s, KC-10s and KC-135 aircraft. I guess I liked it as I spent 26 years in the Air Force. I retired in 1997 and went to work for Raytheon in Greenville Texas (still working on Air Force aircraft). We are now L-3 Communications and I'm an electrical superviso on Rivet Joint Aircraft. Its an intellegince gathering aircraft used by the Air Force. I've traveled extesively to modify aircraft. Pakistan and Okinawa are just a few of the places. Its a fun job but takes up most of my time. Seven day work we...Expand for more
eks are yhe norm.
Im divorced and have two children. My daughter lives in Louisiana and my son is in the Air Force. He is currently stationed in Okinawa Japan.
In my free time I do alot of art projects that involve wood and metal. Making 12 foot metal trees is my current pursuit. Kinda strange but I like different things and metal trees are kind of unusual (you dont have to water them) which is a good thing in Texas.
