Trying to graduate from college at 62 and Get my degree in psychology so I can sit and talk to both young and old Adults.Currently I have126 hours. I recieved my two year certificate two summers ago for Gerontology. Wish with all the changes in American Jobs, I wish All veterans had an opportunity to go back to college as the market changes jobs. I got a B- in Industrial Organizational Psychology I passed Intermediate Algebra and I'm a full fledge Psychology major and I Graduated and walked down the aisle and reached out and took my certificate at 63 years old It shows I still have some youth, beating up those young kids in class. And Now I'm a Psychology major . The day Osama bin laden was shot and went down this day also I passed my last final, what a double victory two birds with one stone on the same day what a victory Dance.

Wish I would have never left the military since I really enjoyed the field I was in and probably would have applied to the DIA
OBAMA DENIES MILITARY FLY BY"S
I hope everyone calls their congressman and senators and reminds them to tell Obama to be real nice to those suspected nefarious muslums suspected of planning a bombing here stateside and under no circumstances consider waterboarding--- just milk and cookies and nice questions for the prisoners.
Best Moment B-52 Raids Offer to re-up 10,000 dollars IOIC aboard ship USS Saratoga Sqadron Motto VA-75 we penetrate deeper stay in longer and deliver a bigger load
Worst Moment During the cruise to VietNam we lost 9 Officers/P.O.W./MIA They were LCDR Donald F. Lindland,LCDR Francis J. Davis, LCDR Robert S. Graustein,LCDR Dale V. Raebel, LCDR Barton S. Wade, LT. Fredrick J. Masterson, LT.Robert I. Randall, LT.Larry R. Kilpatrick, LTJG. Roger G. Lerseth and at the time LTJG Roger G. Lerseth I believe was the only known pilot to be released. But I never research the other eight because of knowledge as to how. The ship also lost(deceased) LCDR Frederick W. Wright, III, LT.John J. Cabral,Mr. Harry J. Schanz, SH2 Courtland Hale, IMSN Gary L. Weller, AA Robert M. Norris during the cruise. nuff said UPDATE LCDR DALE RAEBEL, LT. MASTERSON, LT. ROBERT RANDALL, LTJG ROGER LERSETH, WERE ALL captured after their plane was shot down over North VietNam Each of these men survived his Captivity ordeal and returned to the USA during Operation Homecoming in 1973.
Chain of Command IOIC aboard ship Moon Mullins an A-6 pilot who flew over the north had several Sam missles shot at him one night and they were cruising toward his plane and to avoid the situation took the plane lower only to find heavy tripple A fire so he took his plane lower again to avoid the fire only to fly into a tree and somehow returned to the Saratoga as planned but when looking over the plane after landing we found large branches stuck in the wings. you should have seen his eyes thats how his nickname became moon mullins
