Hey Ken!
Where is your Qual that says you can teach one legged friggers like me to Dive?! It is on todo list, but that is a long one, I got 5b’ed Dec 2007. I took pri Hiring with Veterans Affairs with the Corporate Services. 23 year pension and the same money I was making when I was in. Life ain’t horrible. That means I don’t get to help out the guys and girls we served with and mostly do research on the nobs that work there. I went internet hunting for you to see if you stayed in Canada after your release. Seanna and I are going to be in Vancouver for the Paralympics 12-20th of March incase you are around there then. It is nice to see your pumpkin. You can either hunt me down via the email address or via Facebook. Tried to use that to look you up that way and ended up using my blackbelt in Google. Cheers. Millers in the Old Man’s Pantry!
