Ranger Sarge

I joined the Army when I was 17.I was assigned to the 2/75th Ranger BN. in Ft. Lewis for 2 1/2 years.I was RFM (relesaed for medical).I lost my jump status due to developing high blood pressure.I was then going to be assigned to the 101st Airborne in Ft Cambell (makes no sense right,but it's SOP)Due to no jump status,they said I would be desk duty.So I convinced my commanding officer to allow me to tranfer to the Guard unit in my hometown to fulfill my contract.It was an arterilly unit and I ended up as BN ammo clerk(geez).I got pissed off because an old Army reservist came in the unit and took an E-7 slot that I was trying for because he had more time-in-grade than me.So I got out after 9 years(bad decision).As about 4 months later they changed the whole BN TO&E and I would have gotten my slot.
Now a civilian I went to work for a mechanical contractor that my uncle and dad worked for.I started as sheetmetal shop helper,then a field installer mechanic,then sheetmetal shop foreman,then to estimating jobs and project managing(another desk job...gee-whiz).A lot of out-of-town contractors came in town and work slowed down.I was laid-off in May and now sad to say the company is probably going belly up.Now I going to my old competitors for a full time job,but times are hard.I am trying to get enough customers from my hunting business so I can just work for myself plus I'll be outdoors.
This is my BIO in a nut shell,that's all ya'll get.......LOL
