I am a firefighter and first responder. I work in a manufacturing plant for Toyota.

I miss my days in the Navy as a fire fighter.

I was active duty USN for 10 years. I lucked out when I seperated from the nav and fell into a good job in the manufacturing world. I am on year 9 now, although I do miss the days of being on the flight deck. I started volunteering with the fire dept as a way to get some excitement back into my life. If it was not for the fire dept, I probably would have gone stir crazy several years ago. Making contact lenses is far more boring than fixing aircraft on the flight deck, or responding to calls in a fire engine, but it pays the bills. I consider myself lucky to have a fairly secure job that allows me to provide for my family.

I'm a medic in the AF stationed at Scott AFB in IL. I was a Volunteer FF before I came in. I love what I do now and wouldnt have it any other way.

I am a Military Police Officer and soon to be a Army Recruiter. While doing that, I hope to get my Paramedic license.
