Richard's Story
Lawton High was my third and last high school in three years; Dad was a Soldier. I guess I was pretty much a quiet one in LHS given that I was new so I didn't have that much social interaction in school; life happens.
After graduating Dad was assigned to Germany. Went to University of Maryland (Munich Campus) and even saw some Olympic games. After two years I transferred to U of M College Park MD, played football there, got tired of the game, concentrated on degree and graduated. I moved to Puerto Rico after Dad retired to help my parents settle. What is funny is I started off as a substitute teacher at my old high school; the one before LHS.

Rico, Venezuela, New York and Dallas.
I got tired of the complaints and joined the Army working eventually working my way into special teams and special operations. Retired after serving 27 years and the only regret I have is that I don't have 27 more. Got terminal cancer and beat it; I always thought my hospice nurses were like buzzards circling an animal waiting for its demise . After retiring I became a contractor, while completing my Masters, and now a government employee; very few folks in my specialty. Just signed up for college to get a pilots license.
Full profile on LinkedIn but I use my real first name, "Ricardo".
Travel a lot for business, enjoying different countries, and life.
