What I wanted to be when I grew up? ALIVE....tough neighborhood.

Degree in Sociology was to learn to talk my way out of fights. Army career as a Tanker and other things was to have a fall back position in the event the sociology degree didn't work. Now a Army Civilian working the move of the Fort Knox Armor School to Fort Benning GA. Great job, a tanker moving "the tanker school", and counseling the folks that will miss it when its gone.

Last thing in life I want to accomplish, in the past 2 years, I've been getting close to accomplishing. Using the best of my sociology skills, I'm attempting counsel to and modify the behavior of Stripers so they learn to control their natural aggression.......and NOT eat shad.
