Stack, Edward, MA1

In September, 2021, I decided to quit working and actually retire.  At age 69, and after having completed careers in the military and law enforcement, I figure I can attempt retired life without any regrets.  Just celebrated my 51st wedding anniversary, with my wife Jessica.  Life is good.

Put 10 years into the Marine Corps, and then 12 more into the Navy (I know, I'm a confused individual). After retiring from the military, served 8 years as a Virginia Beach police officer until retirement (disability),  Worked for Blackwater USA, from 2002 to 2005, training Navy personnel in firearms skills. Deployed to Iraq, in 2004, as an independent security contractor for Blackwater. Worked for a different company, on the SBX-1, for 5 months (in 2006) as leader of a security detachment. SBX-1 is a sea-going radar platform, which is under the auspices of the Missile Defense Agency.  I may be retired from the military, and civilian law enforcement, but I am too young to do nothing for the rest of my life.  I may take up a hobby, like woodworking, just to stay active.  Member of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, Marine Corps League, Fraternal Order of Police, Knights of Columbus, National Rifle Association, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and Military Order of the Stars and Bars.
