Another Contributor!

Welcome aboard, TC!

The USAF kept TC quiet for eighteen of his twenty year stint by making him a "Voting Officer" which meant he got people registered to vote and, by law, expressed no opinions of his own politically. After being gagged for all that time he was quite surprised to find he had some fairly concrete opinions hidden.

TC's a Republican Party precinct rep and State Convention Delegate.

He makes his living supporting computer systems at a State MR facility. With two preschoolers (actually they are in K3 and K4 classes already) and a constant 6-9 hour class load, his copious free time is spread out quite thinly.

TC is working (30 years and counting) on an undergraduate degree in Business Management with a double major in Communication Information Systems.

During the monsoon season TC volunteers as a Red Cross Disaster Worker and provides amateur radio support to the Hurricane shelters. He's active in his Masonic Lodge, several ham radio clubs and occasionally puts on a musical presentation for the clients Music Club at the MR center (guitar and voice)

TC has, in his "checkered" past, worked as a HQ Engineering & Installation Division Quality Assurance Manager, Navigational & Weather Systems repair technician, AF OSHA inspector, editor and technical writer for Air Force manuals and regulations, E&I Team Chief, RadioShack Computer Specalist, plumber, construction laborer, produce handler at a farmer's market, mechanic, and photo journalist.

TC's current hobbies (subject to change at whim) are centered around playing and collecting guitars, target shooting and competition, a 22' sailboat and amateur radio....with a half build radio controlled glider on hold for warmer weather.

And now, it would seem, blogging as well.
