If you want to explore opportunities, call me. Always have time to consult with a fellow Marine, and I need another body around here too... Would always prefer one with the same bloodline. If you know how to twist a wrench, I'll train you my way.:-)

I am a 3044 Contract Specialist. We are a small part of supply responsible for buying stuff on the civilian economy that cant be ordered through the supply system. If I went the mechanic route I would apply to work for you in a heartbeat. Nothing better than learning from the source. My wife keeps pushing me away, telling me if I make enough money being a buyer I can buy whatever tools and cars I want to work on as a hobby. I do enjoy following your webpage and posts. Marines like you inspire the young generation Marines by showing us you can succeed outside the Corps.

Before I joined I was just a shade tree mechanic. So naturally when I signed up I went for being a wrench. Got talked into being a track mechanic, but ended up loving it. Tanks are so fun. When I got out, I went to school for wrenching (Southern Illinois - Carbondale) and from what I picked up in school, I pretty much learned that there is no way I could be a mechanic. That would have sucked all the fun I had for it, out of me. I enjoy turning wrenches on my car and helping a friend in need, but to do it for a living? Ugh. That takes a special type of person. I'm just glad I figured out that I wasn't that person before it was too late.
