Chris's Story
Life
After high school went straight into the Navy, days after 18th birthday. Stayed in for 10 years, made rank of E-6. Got out after Desert Storm. Enjoyed my time in service, traveling around the world and living in foreign countries.
Got married while living in the Philippines (became fluent in Tagalog, their national language). Still happliy married 23 years later. We hang out a lot together and enjoy our leisure activites together. We enjoy: travel, cruises (with all Florida's ports, there's lots and they're much better than USS Haze grey and underway); going to car shows (we both like Mustangs) and track events (to push our cars into what they are fully capable of); shooting (both members of NRA); metal detecting (haven't found the...Expand for more
seaside Spanish bullion yet!); and garage/estate sales.
We have a nice home (by our modest standard) here in Orlando, bought when the market was reasonable in the mid-90's. Also have a house and some land in the Philippines where we will likey spend a lot of our retirement. Both pretty settled in our respective careers, wife 17 years and my self 11 years with same companies.
We have a son (adopted wife's) and three grandsons up to age 11. All quite the handful for sure. All in all life is good. It's all what you make of it and the end results of the series of decisions we make. I feel I have done a little better than fair and consider myself quite happy.
Hope all is well with any of my past friends and aquaintences that may read this.
