14 years Active Duty Air Force. Joined to be EOD, and quickly changed my mind after meeting my instructor who was missing a leg and a few fingers. Didn't need that bonus anyways. Retrained and became a vehicle mechanic. Sucked at that for 5 years, and now a Weather Forecaster for grey tails flying all around the world.

Main job is installing and servicing stair lifts and vertical platform lifts. Been with the same company for 38 years (I'm 58). Went to college for computer science back in the early 80's - wrote and still maintain our main system software (Informix 4gl and Informix SQL - running on a SCO Unix Box)

I thought I was the only guy old enough to have been a SCO Unix admin.... LOL! :ROFLMAO:

15 yrs as a mailman and last 15 yrs as a vineyard manager and leaning very heavily as this being my last grape harvest. Looking forward to days filled with coffee on the deck, float tube fishing on the lakes followed by beers / BBQ on the deck. Time waits for no one.

My username is a hint. In my 41st year with the ISP, will be retiring in February of next year when I turn 65, mandatory retirement age. Prior to that served as a Security Police Officer in the US Air Force from 1974-1978.

Congrats on the career, and the retirement! (y)
