Military/DoD Are you active duty, retired or a veteran?

I came out of boot camp as an e3 cause I was into it, and out of aviation structural mechanic school as an e4 cause I was into it. Just to make coffee and occasionally gas up some old 4 prop cargo planes.

So once my hitch was up I used the GI bill to get a degree in electrical engineering and I have been supporting the defense industry ever since, 33 years and counting. It's been a great ride, and I would do it over again and again.
