Oakstone's Profile
Oakstone Free
Born into a family of life-long Democrats, first inkling that they had taken a wrong turn was when they nominated McGovern. Attended Texas Tech University, went through Army ROTC, commissioned, and specialized in munitions/EOD. Served during "Wishy-Washy" Carter's presidency, which turned me into a Republican. Left the Politically Correct service, got a masters in Chemical Engineering. Proving I was a slow learner, worked for the Federal Government for the next 30+ years (forcibly converted from CSRS to FERS after 3 years), escaped (retired) during Obama's second term, and discovered how badly OPM had screwed me in the retirement conversion. Conservative, work and education made me an "expert" in safety (explosives, firearms, construction, industrial, OSHA-certified), environmental modeling and cleanup, explosives use and manufacture. Sufficient classes for a minor in history, study of history a hobby.
Do you buy bags to line your trash cans instead?
