I was born to be a Marine and I was. Left the military after 12 years for what I thought was greener pastures and after 5 years found the grass is not always greener. Went back to the military and retired from there after another 14 yrs (26 yrs total). Decided then after trying a couple of things for short time, that I wanted to fish for a living...so I have been doing that for some years now and I don't plan on quitting this totally until my body says "no more".
