To you Lifers: thank you for your service!
9 years of moving the family every time you turn around was enough for me. And that included some wonderful assignments: Ft. Sam and the Presidio.

Royal Marines but it was so long ago that it should be put in the past- except for the experience.
But I was a Rock climbing instructor- and there isn't much use for one of those in the Desert. What was usefull though was my main occupation and this is why I saw the world, even the desert and on board ships, over the 5 years I was involved in it.
And one of the best skives you could ever get into. The boxing team.
