 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I am currently working at the Walmart in Kerrville, Tx.  As was the case with the military, Walmart has adopted the "Do more with less" attitude.  When i first started out with the company I was assigned to the housewares department, now 5 years later I am still assigned there but with additional duties in the Domestics, Furniture, Fabrics, Paint/Hardware departments...  ( and now Apparel....  for that matter.. anywhere else they think they can force us to work for a while) and at the same stinking pay. 

   
Other Comments:

Prior to Wally World, I worked for a year at Coldwell Banker real estate company doing their MLS data entry.  Prior to that, I worked in about 6 different real estate companies in the New Port Richey/ Tarpon Springs area of Florida (7yrs).  Started out my real estate career in Abilene, Tx in 1994 after I retired from the AF.  (My wife got tired of me sitting around the house for a year.)  Family and I moved to Florida about a year after that where the wife and I obtained our Florida license... to which I still have an active license even though I no longer live there...

Reflections on TSgt Carter's US Air Force Service
 
 Reflections On My Service
 
PLEASE DESCRIBE WHO OR WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO JOIN THE AIR FORCE.
I was a military brat. My father was career Army. He retired as a CW4 in 1974, the year that i graduated from tech school. He used to take my brother and I out to white sands missile range when he had to go out for launches.

My brother was also career military. He spent 4 yrs in the army, got out for a couple of years, then enlisted in the Air Force the same year I did. He retired as a CMS with 30 yrs.

So i guess they were my biggest influences on my decision to join the military.

I also have a younger brother who retired from the Navy with 22yrs. Between my father, 2 brothers and myself we have served our country for 102 years.
