I joined the Army @ 17 as a Forward Observer. had a few jobs in between 09' I picked up an MP mos and still doing that. At 28 years old and 10 years serving Im wondering if I should continue or retire at 20 years in? Either way other than that I have no job.. Ive picked up learning to forge high carbon steel and now this bow making. I still forge knives and tomahawks and want to get a small buisness going when Im good at it. I am now a Single father of a beautiful 2yr old daughter and not yet born baby boy.

I'm a stay-at-home dad. I have 3 awesome kids and a fantastic wife who works as a nurse. I take my kids swimming in the creek and stump shooting all summer long. I get to know all their friends and I know what's going on at school. Of course the housework is never-ending, but that's a given. Never saw my life heading this direction, but I can't complain a bit.

Yeah, I'm glad I never had to do the 31E job!  I was always on the law and order side of it.  The closest I came was deserter apprehensions.  THAT was a blast.  I drove all over NC and to KY a couple of times, I also got to escort a prisoner out to the confinement facility in San Diego.  We ended up having a free day in San Diego, that was pretty cool.

I am the Clinical Manager for the Division of Transfusion Medicine in the Department of Pathology at The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.  I grew up out in the woods and would love nothing more to live off of the woods but the wife and kids would have a real problem with that.  I guess I will just have to wait until this world goes to hell in a hand basket to be able to do that.  At the rate its going it shouldn't be long.

I'm a wildlife biologist.  I trapped and commercial fished to pay my way through college in the early 80's. I felt like I needed to give back to the things that meant so much to me as a kid.  I have 8 counties I'm responsible for and primarily meet with private landowners offering technical guidance for wildlife habitat improvement.  I also deal with nuisance wildlife problems as well.

I trap and band waterfowl and doves.

I'm an official measurer for Pope and Young and Boone and Crockett.

Upon retirement I plan to freelance write outdoor articles and wildlife photography, I dabble in both currently anyway...

I'm a newbie to the bow making arena, I hope to complete my first this summer...

Used to be a graphic designer in print and front end web dev for 8 yrs, but got tired of the corporate entitlement of treating people like slaves. Now I am a tattoo artist earning a lot less, but also learning to relax and enjoy life again. I think I finally found a way to make money with my artwork, so it has been worth the transition.
