Grew up in Brooklyn, did extremely poor throughout junior and high school but decided to stay in..Never learned a thing. Joined the Air Force at 19 and took up a gig in electronic and dimensional calibration. The gub'ment decided a few years later that it would be better and cheaper for big companies like Raytheon and Halliburton to do the job I was getting paid minimum wage to do.
So now they pay me(quite well) to sit on my a$$ and watch companies like these to make sure they dont rip off good ol' Uncle Sam. (Which they do everyday BTW).
Never left Brooklyn til I was 19, and in the last 9 years have been sent to England, Korea, California, England(again), Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, Germany, England (again!) and God knows where else. (Still havent found a better hot dog than Nathan's or a Pizza better than V&T's near Columbia University)
One of these days, I will attempt to take a college class of some sort, perhaps in flower arangement or something....
