Let me dust off the cobwebs and think about this....

Hmm, after not wanting anything to do with ROTC, I joined the Marine Corps. Left on Sept 19, 1990 and 7 years later (Feb 2007), completed my tour of duty. Life has been pretty interesting. Went to MCRD San Diego (bootcamp), MOS (job) trained in Quantico, VA, sent to duty at MCRD San Diego for 2 years, sent to duty at Quantico, VA, got married and then stayed in VA until 1997. Wow, I saw.....ummmm.....the US coasts!

But the best thing that happened is that I got found my mate (Woman Marine) and got married in 1994. Life has been pretty exciting since then. Funny thing is that I can't really remember much about it. It's gone by so fast. After about 4 years, our son Joshua was born. Everything else is pretty much a blur since then. Now we have 7 children. And before you ask: YES, they are ALL ours together. And YES, we do know what causes it and we enjoy it very much!

Moved from VA up to Baltimore for a couple years, then finally settled near York, PA for the next 7 years. Funny thing, the company I worked for then won the State contract for Automated Fingerprint Identification for NM. My boss knowing that I was from NM, asked if we'd like to relocate. So we did and now here we are in Moriarty.
