Originally from my dad's penis but grew up in Iowa. On active-duty in the U.S. Navy since 1994, currently serving as the Command Chief onboard Navy Operational Support Center Wilmington, North Carolina.. Married & father of two beautiful girls. Described by more than a few as "someone with many quaint skills," I'm sufficiently intelligent to qualify for at least one personality disorder. I enjoy dog-sledding, softball, & watching people run for their lives. I love throwing garbage out the window, yet I'm extremely sophisticated.
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss
At times, HM-15 has had more than 750 personnel. Her largest work center, the "Line Division" boasts at times nearly a hundred personnel, supporting rotating "round the clock" operations. Her second largest work center, the "Airframes and Hydraulics Shop" has almost 60 personnel. She also has one of the "World's Greatest" Administrative Departments. Broken down into Admin and Personnel, this handful of about 10 Sailors take care of all 750 HM-15 members pay, special requests, leave, evaluations, fitreps, and awards.
