Right on, another puddle pirate :) I was in 6yrs before I got out as an AVT2. Clearwater was always a consideration for station. Big freaking air sta.

Semper Paratus!  Was an FN up in Sitka then became a Fire Control Tech working on Mk92's and the CIWS.  Spent alot of time at sea on the Munro doing boardings and fun stuff.  Loved it.

I got out in 91'.  Was on there just under three years.

Just started my own artisan furniture business.
I do mostly live edge work with walnut, some cherry and hackberry and a little cedar.

Very cool Sonic. My wife started in that direction but never made it. We now have lots of cool heavy tools though. :)

Thanks!
I've got about 20,000sqft of shop space and a whole hell of a lot of tools so hopefully it works out for me.

I'm a full time firefighter, part time photographer, attentive father, and pretty amazing husband (the wife may or may not agree with my assessment).

3rd mate on a 285ft offshore supply boat in the Gulf working with Shell. Doing my best to keep the seafloor pumping out oil/gas for those beaters we like to work/ride on.. Hoping to one of these years get on a real ship (600ft+) and bring cargo around the world. Getting my 2nd mate and 1600ton Masters license this fall, pretty stoked about that!

Own a shrimp boat, so I do that when I'm home and its in season..(try not to think about those tv shows in Louisiana..haha).  Also, work at the family marina/boatyard working on boats from 20-65ft boats..

Lastly, part time worker at RedBull doing event logistics, setting up events before they start and tearing them down. Delivering infrastructure(tables, bars, inflatables,etc.). I only do events i want to so I can get free tickets in haha!
