This page is about me and what I have done and where I have been.
(that's
me)
A short history about me:
I was born in New York and spent the early years in the little town of Selden New York out on the Island. I then moved to Fort Lauderdale Fl sometime in 1975. I finished High school there and then decided that the best thing for me was to join the Navy. It was interesting at first and I rally hated it. But once I got settled in after the first few years. I actually got used to it. I went on to spend 20+ years in the Navy and traveled all over the world.
I actually miss it some.. the military has a life style of it's own and the people are really good people (A few jerks too) over all. I spent about 7 1/2 years deployed or away from my family and I would do it all over again. Not to be away from the family, but to see the world and travel like I was able to.
Well I plan on putting some links to some personal web sites here along with my military travel pictures etc. Take a look and you might find some places you might have been to also.
Take it easy and enjoy your visit.
