Maybe, really I don’t care one way or the other… I am just trying to hand you an olive branch…

When I enlisted in Navy I was studying Law. I did 4 years of Advocacy and then I dedicated myself to Archeology. So everything I studied was while I was in Navy. They respected me a lot for that. My work was always administration. I came to have a position of trust.

You would of been a clerk in the US navy probably a LS. LS is Logistic Support it’s a type of S rating.
I was an MS Mess Management Specialist also a S rating. Supply by the way is S, anything that deals with people falls into the supply rates.

#39

Yes, but Advocacy obviously was not my vocation or I would have finished my degree. finally bit me the duck of Ancient Egypt.

#40

I wanted to get into Archaeology or maybe paleontology (i collect fossils), but I decided to become an architect. I didn’t want to teach.

#41

This is a Carcharodontosaurus tooth. It is from the Late Cretaceous period; about 85 million years ago. It is my favorite fossili in my collection.

I investigate, don´t teach. I’m a Documentalist. Although sometimes I made some conferences. The last one was a video-conference for the University of Lima and I was very nervous because I had never done a video-conference …

#44

I used to do field work when I lived in Montana but not so much here in Virginia.

#45

I got out my macro cam it’s made to take pics of small things and added a quarter so you can get a grasp on the size this would of been in the mid of the right side of the jaw. It is kind of a rare fossil they ranged through Egypt .

In the area of El-Fayum is where you can find the oldest paleontological records.

#49

I always wanted to visit Wadi Al-Hitan.
The oceanic fossils there are incredible.

#50

*boat army where you just chill on a big boat and get paid

#52

I was never in a boat more than when I did the practices in exams for promotion. My work was always administrative.

#53

Boot, A, and C school took almost a year, I was a plank owner on the Ronald Reagan CVN 76 I did 3 years on her. I went in at 18 got out right before I turned 23.

Plank owner means I was part of her first crew.

What I regret is that I retired without having made the trip to Antarctica…

We had a joke with that. When someone behaved badly we said “I’m going to send you to count penguins to Antarctica” … but I would have loved to go count penguins to Antarctica!
