Gerald's Story
Life
After graduating from York in 79 I worked in a paint facory in Bensenville for a year and found that wasn't what I wanted. I joined the Navy in July of 1980 and was shipped off to boot camp in Orlando,Florida for 8 weeks and then was sent to Cecil Field N.A.S. to become a jet engine mechanic. I spent the next 12 years right there at Cecil field and became a jet engine mechanic building engines for many different types of aircraft. During my 12 Years I got married and had 2 sons and I served during desert shield and storm.
I finally moved to California in 92 and got divoced at the same time...Expand for more
