Army ROTC, commissioned USAR in 1980, delayed entry to active duty for graduate school. Joined a reserve unit near school as a non-deployable over strength since I hadn't been to basic yet.

Re-commissioned 1LT Regular Army in 1982, off to FT Sam Houston for basic.

20 yr REMF. Assignments in Colorado, Alaska, Maryland (twice), Alabama, Virginia. Retired in 2002.

Went right back to work as a contractor/consultant for the Army, the National Guard, and a little bit for NASA. Retired again in 2014, little earlier than I originally was thinking, but turned out to be right time.
