Ok - I'll tell you about me.

Most of us would rather do anything short of talking about ourselves. We are a part of the team, even after being out for a while. I'm still working on the "It's all about me" with attitude.

I realize that I am asking you to take stock in that I post.

I'm a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer. I made the rounds. First it was the Army 1970-1973, Air Force 1973-1976 and finally, the Navy for the balance totaling 32 years when I retired.. I've been around. After the military, I worked for San Joaquin Delta College. I was a financial aid anlyst and opened the Leo Burke Veteran Resource Center. I retired from Delta College. I had always dreamed of getting my degree at the University of the Pacific. I applied and was accepted. It had been a while since I had been in school. I had to prove I had the grades and chops to make it at UOP. I took classes at Delta College. Sure enough I was accepted as a transfer student. Now I will graduate in May.

Moral of the story is if I can do it, you definitely can do it.
