Retired Caterpillar Technician. (Guess that's why I drive tracked vehicles in AH)  :P

Fell off a Cat D11R Crawler Dozer and broke my neck in 2003, and since then been taking it easy.

Moved from The Windy City to Music City, and bought some property along the Caney Fork River near Sparta, Tenn.

Hope it's an investment in my family's future.  :headscratch:

I work in the gaming industry, a project manager at a Japanese game studio in Los Angeles.  Been at the same company for almost 10 years now, kind of rare to stay that long at one company for so long in this industry.

Aleric , my squadmate is a LEO as well and a very pleasant gentleman. You could look him up but you'll have to PM. He's a Bishop.

I was a boat captain running party boats in MA. Did a stint down in LA. on the oil rigs in a standby boat. converted to computer geek, and work at a corporate headquarters of a health care company in MA. Hobbies include hunting fishing, motorcycle, flying in my friends Cessna XP, and of course Aces high.

found aces high by accident and have been addicted ever since. AVA CM and working on some neat stuff in the new game. also playing with building some small terrains.

Retired from Illinois Bell/AT&T after 42 1/2 service as a High Speed Fiber Optic Repairman, I worked on the latest and greatest fiber systems deployed at customer locations like Sprint, Verizon, Federal Government, Nuke Plants......you name it. I have been on a Civil War Black Powder Musket/Carbine team for 34 years and have been on several 1st Place National Championship teams. I just started playing the game in December of 2014, about 13 months.....it's been a load of fun.

I make detailed engineering maps of eletrical systems. My other duties consist if babysitting my employees who routinely brood, sulk, and throw temper tantrums.

I'm a design engineering tech at an aerospace firm. I get to clean up those drawings and make sure they match the end design because those guys can't stop "improving" their designs but forget to update with those improvements. In effect, I get to utilize my apparent OCD, or so i'm told, whilst they walk around like Wally from Dilbert.
Also, love spending time with my wife and two kids, and/or in my jeep, off road or on, and sometimes (too often) under it.

Spent 33 yrs as a field engineer installing and fixing CT and MRI scanners until
the strokes and heart attack. Now i'm disabled and trying to get where I can get back
to work! The irony is, I've been scanned several times by the very units I installed
and serviced  :bhead

I was a 19K myself.

Awesome!

I started out, back in the day, 19E then trained up for the gas guzzling 19K. I love flying virtual planes though when I need to kick real A** I climb into my ride!
