I'm way too slow and short to play safety in the NFL so that dream went out the window. As a 17 year old kid joining the AF I wanted to be a meteorologist, the AF made me an electrician. Can't complain as I was good at that and it led to many construction management positions after my military career finished. I honestly can't think of a different career path...would love to go back and NOT meet an ex but that is a different topic. Shawn
