ainder of my life! Once a marine, always a Marine!
While in the service, I was able to get my GED, and therefore graduate with my high school class, I was also afforded the oppertunity to continue my education and have earned a Masters Degree In Psychology with a minor in Business.
My life after leaving the Marines has been very ospecious, I sold paint, cars, home improvements, went into building, got married 3 times, divorced 3 times! Was a City Councilman, and even served a term as mayor of a small City.
I am happy in my life with what I have done with it, but unhappy with what I could have done with it!
