West Point due to my scores and turned it down, because " I was only in for three years, then out" Kicked my self later! Did get a BA while in Germany.

During my 20, was stationed in Mainz, Baden-Baden, Hanau Germany. Stationed in Bentwaters England for a time too. Was in the 101st at Ft. Campbell Ky. and retired at Ft. Lewis WA. Since then got 3 AA's from a local community college, (they don't need French Linguist on the west coast). Ran retail stores and now I'm a Social worker, working with Developmentally disabled adults.
