Twenty-eight years in the US Navy SEABEES where I was an automotive and construction equipment mechanic. Deployed to several "exotic" places like Antarctica, Diego Garcia, Palau, Adak, AK, and so forth. Now I am a part-time counterman at NAPA; I wanted just to deliver parts but they said I was "over qualified" (yeah right), sux to be that.
Anyway, I've loved Mopars ever since a friend of my older sister let me borrow his (then 5-year old) '67 Hemi Belvedere, for my two week boot camp leave!
Great to read about everyone's professions, good idea!
