What did you want to do or think you were going to do when you finished high school?
I wanted to be a Texas Ranger; but, my eyesight keep me out of it. So, I had to settle for working for the FBI as a clerk. I did this for a year and then I joined the United States Marine Corps. This was during the draft and my time was coming up, so I joined. I spent 4 years, 2 months, and 19 days in the U.S.M.C. before I was honorably discharged with a 10% compensable disability due to a gunshot wound. Later, I did get back in the Federal Service and for the last 13 years of my Federal Service I helped train the new Special Agents for the Criminal Investigation of the Internal Revenue Service. I am now retired and enjoying it. However, I do work part-time during the tax season for H&R Block doing tax returns.
