Chip's Story
Life
Upon graduating from Hodgson I left for the military and returned home to a job with the Air National Guard fulltime as a firefighter. I left the Air Guard for a position with Boeing Defense and Space Group as an Aircrew Rescue Recovery Specialist working with the V-22 Osprey program as well as several other programs. I traveled all over the place with Boeing and was laid off several years later from goverment funding and cut backs. I then worked for a short time with a contractor for U.S. Customs inspecting Crude Oil Tankers off Big Stone Anchorage. Unhappy with the long hours away from my family I accepted a position with a local power company as a Combustion Turbine Operator / Mechanic where I still work to this day. Married for 10 years (11/1/97) to my wonderful and special wife/mom Kim. We have...Expand for more

Enlisted in the military during my Junior year at Hodgson as a Infantry Medic. Transferred a few years later to the Air Guard full-time as a Airfield Firefighter. Returned back to the Army as a Flight Medic and in 1999 accepted to attend U.S. Army Flight School where I became a Warrant Officer and still am to this day. I have had the opportunity to fly the AH-64 Apache, OH-58 Scout / Target Acquisition and Reconnasaince, UH-60 Blackhawk, and UH-1 Huey. I was deployed in 2003 for a little over a year for Operations Enduring Freedom / Noble Eagle flying Medevac. I Love My Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
