I was a few miles to the south at Charleston Southern University aka Baptist College @ Charleston. My freshman semester.
 
I was 49 and supervising the equipping of CHP Black and Whites and other CHP Emergency Vehicles. 109F outside 110F in the shop at 4pm pdt at that point I had every body in the break room watching training films. How do I know? I had to keep records of production and at 102F inside we stopped working usually late in the afternoon. It just wasn't safe.

LOL, you certainly live life on the edge Charlie:biggrin:

I just checked my old time sheets.... was working at Jwaneng Diamond mine in Botswana. Too far from home and missing my eldest lad growing up. :redface:

I used to read all my kids Dr Seuss books too and if I'm not mistaken, today is the 18th anniversary of his death.

I wished they knew that in Yuma AZ when we were working on the flightline and it was 120:eek:.

Anyway, stationed at MCAS El Toro, 14 in and 6 to go. Sometimes I miss those days.
 
Just had moved to Oklahoma, to take over the Sales territory of OK., North TX., Arkansas,and southern Missouri.






















OK
 
Running my first wife back and forth to doctors appointments , she was 8 months pregnant with my first son and we were living in Staten Island , NY . I was working in Brooklyn on the Queens border as a car stereo repair technician .
 
Maintenance Chief at FACSFAC Jacksonville. Final duty station. Been retired 16 years and still miss those days sometimes.
 
I really don't know where I was ... kinda like today. Lost and looking for whatever.

Actually I was probably conducting some kind of surveillance in either Florida or Alabama.

I do know where I want to be though, and that is back down in Saint Johns in the West Indies, chasing a bunch of sex crazed young college gals around the boat, drinking some serious rum, and burning, well, er, one of them there crazy 'sticks' that the islanders always seemed to have on hand. :cool:
 
I was working offshore on a drilling rig. In fact I am still right here working and hoping to make it past these hard times.
 
I had just started second grade. I had tying my shoes down but I was a little shaky on the times table.....Pretty sure I had a Ninja Turtle lunchbox :wink:
 
I was 16 years old 18 years ago, so i was Frosh in high school, shaving weird designs in my hair trying to impress the girls. It didn't work.
 
1991......an instructor at Trident Training Facility in Kings Bay Georgia, volunteer fighter and a strong member of a local theater group....and of course....watching my lil girls grow up....
 
I had just moved to where I live now.I had taken a promotion with the company I worked for which involved quite a bit of travel but allowed me to live any where in the district which went from Texarkana to Abilene & north as far as Oklahoma City. The town I had been living in had a very rough school system so I relocated to the town I had grown up in so that my girls could grow up in a much safer school. The traveling got old after 3 years but I never regretted moving my family to the smaller town.

I was very close to learning I would be a father for the 4th time. otherwise life has not changed a huge degree for me. Same employer but different duties. Moved a couple of times but still in the same town. That baby is now grown and made me a grandpa. Otherwise life has just rolled along.
