Joe's Story
Workplace
I am a quality control inspector for the Space Station. I build,test, take to the pad, put in the orbiter, and launch all the parts that go up to the station. It is an interesting job but also a trying job. You meet alot of interesting people from all over the world and make friends with them. I still write some friends I made in Russia and Germany and am good friends with a few of the astronauts. One was on the Columbia accident. That is the only downfall to our job. It is an experimental thing, a once in a lifetime job and management and politics want it to run like an airlines. WE are the only ones in the world that do what we do. It is a great job for a few more years and then I am going to go to Las Vegas and do what I always wanted to do, be a male prostitute..
Military

m, got liad off, got married, went back in the Air Force two years later. Was assigned to a C-130 resque squadron and was sent over for POW release cus I had worked on jet and turbojet engines. Didn't get to see them come out of Nam as we were flying over the top of them in aircraft to replace theirs if theirs broke. Let there and went to a special operations squadron flying in classified C-130 aircraft. Fantastic!!! Got to see some strange countries, do so unique things, and saw a few friends die in front of me in Iran. I taught aircraft maintenance for a few years and spent a while in a foward air control squadron stationed with the Army at Fort Bragg and then here in Florida. Retired after 23 years so I could send my son through college (single parent) and I couldn't be flying all over the place anymore. Great career and got me a great job at Kennedy Space Center with McDonnell Douglas and then with Boeing......
