Randy's Story
Life
Which book do you want to start with!!!!!
School
Actually my school history would be compared to a pinball game.Went to schools in Spring Valley,Bonita, National City, but mostly in Chula Vista, go blue & white! Mother passed away, so i was on my own my junior year. Went to school, worked full time till midnight, party with freinds,try and get homework done by 3 AM, get up at 6 and start all over. Thats why i slept alot in class my senior year. Thanks to some generous teachers, i managed to graduate with my class, THANKS! Many good, faded memories,would not change for the world. Known among freinds as the red freak, slept so much people thought i had a barbituate habit. Maybe reefer madness, ya that's it. Best freind throughout school was Jeff McKissack. Peace!
Workplace
That i did, starting full time my junior year. Really had no goals,except to see as much of the US i could, and go to Amsterdam Holland.I accomplished both.When Lower Sweetwater Fire hired me as a fireman in 79, i knew this was going to be my profession. Thanks to Capt. Steve Leighton, and the fire Cheif. They sent me on my way in the right direction. Learned every aspect of the profession i could. I'm retired,professionaly, but looking into pyro tech. school. Now, just hang out in town where i live, and visit. Partners in a pawn shop in tow...Expand for more
n. Thats different 4 sure! Peace!
Military
Joined the army in 75,went to Ft Bliss in El Paso Texas for basic and AIT.Trained in air defence artillary. Finished AIT second highest in class. Army picked top 10 to send to duty station of choice, the rest went to Nam. Always liked duck hunting, so shooting down combat aircraft was close enough! Was stationed in a little town outside Ludwigsberg Germany, called Kornwestheim, or korn town. I was in HHC 2nd/4th Infantry, red eye section. Wow, speaking of red eye, i fit the bill. Wilsons barracks was the new place called home. Well hello Amsterdam! Told ya i'd get here. Most of Europe was cool to visit. Hell of a way to travel,but well worth it! Thanks Uncle Sam! Met many people there i'll never forget,even the x wife.She kinda forced herself ito my buisy life,but in a way i'm glad she did.My last year i spent as a postal clerk, at army housing.The stinger missle, phased us red eye missle people out. Favorite roomys were,Mike Mc Cormick,Joiner,Mahollick,knew lots of mikes,Pat VanCleave,Ben Mucci,and Gerald.Gerald and i went through basic together. And we both got stationed at the same place. MP buds were Ratfink,can man,Terry, & Audie. And all the gang from housing! Hangout- Moms guesthouse,Concerts, Food- roast chicken mit pomfrits, curry worst & fries, from the train station.
