Charles's Story
Life
I currently live in Florida. I moved here in March of 2004. I was fed up with my job and was thinking about getting out of N.Y. and since I didn't have much to lose, I quit my job, asked my ex if she wanted to get back together, and she said yes. She was already living in Florida, so it was a bonus. We are moving to a new complex in April and hope to adopt a stray cat that lives in our complex.
Workplace
Up until 1988 I had worked at several jobs, but then I started at the home office of the New York Life Ins. Co. I worked in security for 6.5 years, then Electrical Maintenance for 10 years. I got outsourced in 2000, but got a buyout so I was able to get a pension and keep my benifits, of whi...Expand for more
ch the company pays just over 50% for my benifits. I am currently unemployed, but looking for something to hold me until I retire, hopefully at 62.
Military
I enlisted in the Navy in Nov. 1967, it was either that or get drafted and probably wind up in Vietnam. I went to boot camp in Great Lakes, Ill. until Feb. 1968. I was assigned to the USS Pocono AGC/LCC 16 and spent my entire service aboard her. I advanced in rate and made it to Ship's Serviceman 2nd Class. I was discharged in Sept. 1971. I made a lifelong friend from my division who I keep in contact with and visit from time to time. I have made contact with a few of my other shipmates, but they don't seem to want to stay in touch, how sad.
