Dewayne's Story
Life
After SMHS started at Allan Hancock and then received my draft notice. Decided to join the Army so I wouldn't have to go to Viet Nam, but wound up there anyway for one tour. When I returned from Nam, married my Sweet Heart Ilene Bailey and was transferred to Seattle, WA. Left the Army and moved back to Santa Maria. Have lived in SM, Lompoc, Ventura, Paso Robles, CA. Ilene and I have been married for 42 years last April, have one son 42 and a daughter 24. We have three grand sons, 20, 10 and 8. Life has been good to us.
Workplace
After getting out of the Army in 1969 said I would never go back into the military, or work for the Government. Well, in '82 went into the Army National Guard and then went Active Duty...Expand for more
with the Guard and retired from the military in 2000. Then went into Government service with the Dept of the Army where I retired in Jan09. Found out that you never say never, as you can see. Between Army stints, worked as a loan officer, claims adjuster, Police Officer in Guadalupe, private investigator and worked for Federal Electric at VAFB.
Now just on the road full time RVing and seeing the USA.
Military
After SMHS joined the Army and did a tour in Viet Nam as the Company Clerk for the 1st Log Command. Then to Seattle working in the Induction Station there in the testing section. The military helped me to grow up and gave me some good and some hard lessons for life. Don't regret either tour with the military.
