(John) Bill Moyer

At age 17 I enlisted in the Navy under a program that ensured that I would get out after three years of active service. Well, 22 years later I resigned my commission from the Navy Nuclear Submarine Force, and began my second career in Commerical Nuclear Power. My last seven years with Progress Energy were spent as the Site Vice President of the H.B Robinson nuclear generation station in central South Carolina. Since Ruth Anne and I had both graduated from the Unniversity of South Carolina it was like coming home again. After twice retiring, I promised my bride that my working days were over, and that she and I would play around like a couple of kids. But, it wasn't long until my old friends started calling, looking for a retired executive to participate in their Nuclear Safety Review Boards. This was mid-2006, just a couple of months after my retirement. After saying NO three or four times they were persuasive enough to con me into NOT MORE THAN ONE YEAR OF SERVICE. Well, it's been nearly six years since I agreed to serve for a maximum of one year, but this will DEFINITELY be my last year. UPDATE: The senior execs at TVA continued to be persuasive with respect to remaining on their Nuclear Safety Review Board, and here it is 2013, and I'm still on their Board.....but this is definitely the last year!! I did it.....I actually did it. After seven years I actually did it. While celebrating my 70th birthday, and close to solving the mystery of the universe, it suddenly occurred to me that at age 70 you just have but a few years of good left on this planet. So, I am fully retired. Now what? I have taken up competitive shooting (rifles and pistols) while at the same time I load my own ammo...not a bad way to spend your time especially if the zombies are on the way.

Having spent my entire 22 years of Naval service in the Submarine Force I calculated one day the total amount of time that I had spent submerged, completely disassociated from civilization. I will not share with you the final calculation simply because many of you would say 'Ah, that explains many, many things about his behavior'.

No questions, I am always worried about the answers
