Brian's Story

Workplace (Only 4000 characters? I'll try,...) Well I delivered the Peoria Journal Star as a kid in Peoria. In high school (Marquette Heights, IL.) I spent the summers working for my Grandpa Hex at his plumbing, heating and air conditioning business in Washington, IL. During the school months I worked at the Chateau on the Lake, in North Pekin, IL. While attending Eureka College, I worked during the week at the College, then weekends at the Chateau. When I moved to Rock Island, IL, I became a Manager Trainee at the Moline, IL, Steak-N-Shake, then transferred to their Pekin, IL store. I left there to be a night mgr at the Peoria Big Hollow 7-11, then I took a job at Stinnett Windows, in East Peoria, IL, then back to Steak-N-Shake, only at the Peoria Main St. store. From there I went to UFS and did roofing on the side. I left UFS to become a security guard for Per Mar Security, and applied to the Peoria Police Dept. and was placed on their waiting list. I left Per Mar and started at OSF as a Security Officer in 1982. 1984 I decided to become a Marine, taking a military leave, and just as I was waiting to ship out the Peoria Police Department called and said my name was now at the top of their list, and I contacted my Marine Recruiter and was informed that I was committed (though I later found out that I wasn't until I reported to boot camp, but I do n...Expand for more
ot regret it!). So I became a Jarhead (1984) for 5 years, 1 month, 13 days, 8 hours, and 36 minutes. When I received my Honorable Discharge in 1989, I returned to OSF, again as a Security Officer. In 1989 I also worked part-time at Lisenby's Ace Hardware Store in Peoria, IL. off and on. I also managed and maintained an apartment complex for 3 years (1991-1994) and back again to Lisenby's. In 1994 I changed jobs at OSF and am currently a General Maintenance Tech (2nd Shift at the hospital), and in 1997 now working in the same occupation (1st shift) but working at all of the off campus facilities. (WOW, 1987 characters left!!) Military Joined the USMC, shipped out 03/05/84 to MCRD San Diego, CA. to 1stBN Alpha Co. Plt 1027, EWRah! Attended ScolsBn Camp Delmar, Camp Pendleton, CA and checked into my first unit, VMFA-312, MAG-31, 2ndMAW, MCAS Beaufort, SC. Took 2 WESTPAC trips to Iwakuni, Japan, Korea, and NAS Cubi Pt, Phillipines, which included lay overs (3) in Hawaii (ooh, yeah 36 hours each) and one in Anchorage, Alaska (short, but not short enough). Go Checkerboards! I then transferred in 1987 to I&I Staff, HQBN, 23rd Marines, 4thMarDiv, Naval & Marines Reserve Center, Houston, Texas. LOVED TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!! I was discharged on 04/14/1989 and returned to Peoria, Illinois, and to OSF St. Francis Medical Center, where I have been ever since.
