Bio
I was born in Chicopee MA. I was in the USAF from Feb of 1976 till Dec 1981. I then joined the USA NG in Jan 1982. My unit was in Grand Forks ND. I separated again in Jan 1986. For the next 10 years I worked as a house painter. Then I completed a PA degree and joined the USPHS. I am currently an 0-4 with almost 24 years total uniformed service. I have three grown kids and two cats.
Military Experiences
Apr 1981 - Dec 1981
Medical NCOIC
I was assigned to the Human Reliability Program and the Personnel Reliability Program in the medical records department. I reviewed and maintained all the records of officers and enlisted assigned to handle nuclear weapons. I reported to the hospital commander, a full colonel, directly. I had to make regular reports to the bass commander, a one star general, as well. Important work but really mundane.
Dec 1978 - Mar 1981
