    Back to the original question:

    Yeah, I'm a doctor, but not the kind you're thinkin' of.

    Ph.D. in Christian Education, pastor, author, freelance writer, prof, yada yada.

    Blessings all!

    Such a distinguished crowd here. I've been working for an industrial supply company here in good ole Mobile for nearly nine years, delivering to customers and working in that hot, sweaty warehouse. Prior to that, I was in the Coast Guard, where I worked as an avionics technician and retired here in good ole Mobile.

    Currently a Colonel in the ARNG (until July when I retire after 32 1/2 yrs of military service). I have been a company commander, battalion commander, group commander, and an operations officer at every level of command below division over the years. In my civilian job I am a building materials sales rep (done that for 26 years), before that I managed an electrical construction company for 3 years. I am serving my second term as a deacon in a SBC church and getting ready to teach adult options during VBS. Bruce
