| Bio / Message: | The Acadia was my one and only ship while I was in the Navy. While I was on it, I worked in OPS, R-4, and did the 6 month Mess Deck MAA thing. Amazingly enough, the Mess Deck MAA thing was one of the best overall experiences. Met *lots* of people, discovered that I could deal with crowds of 18 year olds that didn't want to be there, and pretty much all of the fresh baked cookies I could eat. OPS was obviously the cushiest, talk about doing whatever you want do whenever you want to do it! Basically, as long as everything worked, I did whatever I wanted to do. So, I made sure everything worked! R-4 was the most feared place for me (no more leaving at 10am), but even that turned out to be a great thing. Yet again met lots of new people, and it was a great place to work on big pieces of gear, such as the ships sound system that the bands used. What was really amazing is they put me in charge of production a couple weeks after I got there. I'm still not sure why. After my Navy days, I went back to IL to do the college thing (BS in Computer Science), worked as a software engineer at Motorola for 4 years (that got old!), traded index futures on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade for a couple years (the floor is basically no more), and now I'm doing computer consulting primarily in the Nashville, TN area. |
