I am newly registered here. 79 yr old retirie from Fairview, NC  I am retired from the US Navy, and Biltmore Dairy Farms. Also Roseway Transportation.  I went to work at Biltmore Dairy, part time at the age of 12. Then full time at the age of 16. Joined the Navy at the age of 17. Served 8 years, 4 active duty and 4 ready reserve.  Back to Biltmore at the age of 21. Re-inlisted in the Naval Reserve at the age of 43 and retired from the Navy at the age of 60. I retired from Biltmore at the age of 50 when they sold out to Pet Dairy in 1985. I went to work at that time as a long haul truck driver and retired at the age of 62.
Have been enjoying life since!
I have enjoyed all my working years, but the most memorable were the 3 deployments to the Philippines and one to Adak, Alaska in the 1950's, and the deployment to Saudi Arabia during the 1st. Gulf War in 1991 and 1992.
