Heres the list of me...
I can't say much about the time in the Army, but my last transferable posting was to the National Gaurd, 32nd Division, 57th infantry 121st battery and field art. as an O-1 (second lieutenant). Medical discharge.
My job- Applied field tacticts, analysis of implemented field and combination role tactical influences
My REAL JOB- Troublemaker
Current days- I'm a 4th generation truck driver, over the road as well as localy in the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is known as "The Badger State", and our theme song is "On Wisconsin!", and of course..our motto.."FORWARD!" I'm a heavy supporter of the 32nd Division from Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, and proud of the history of the state. During the Civil War we were part of the historic Iron Brigade, and during the first World War, the 32nd Div made the most break throughs of any other front line.
I digress.
I fix in my spare time, as on-call basis, vintage airplanes from 1935 to 1958 that are piston driven. I like jets, don't get me wrong, but its the sheer horse power a P-51-D and later E type (renamed the F-51 Mustang later). My bread and butter is F4U Corsair.
Pictured is a late model F4U Corsair. This plane I accualy worked on to put in this particular museum. She's a beauty, and she runs like new! This particular one was made in 1945, January. This one didn't see much action.
Other than this, I have a quirky sense of humor, I'm half scottish, half german, and claim none of the dutch I supposedly have.
However, the other things I do in my spare time is restore antique tractors, and have my very own tractor as well, a 1949 Case model SC, 6 volt postive ground. It works and runs better than my dads, a 1948 Case model SC.
(this isn't my tractor, this is a random one that looks just like it so I could post something that you'd have an idea of what it is. Give me shit about my tractor, I'll lay down some numbers so damn fast about why it was a great tractor you'd need a helping hand to grab your ass! tee hee!)
Any more questions, ask!
