Veteran Navy Flyer. Gulf War Veteran. Tailhook Aviator. I now maintain two careers. First, a spacecraft design engineer, supporting both both commercial and government/DoD programs. Second, a fairly senior Naval Reserve Officer. If I have the time to make contributions on FR, they will probably be from a technical viewpoint (I have a good BS detector!) or from a National Security perspective.

I am a Christian, Father, American, and Conservative Republican, in that order.

Hobbies: Flying, Skydiving, and Shooting Sports (all for over 25 years) and just about anything outdoors.

Just my opinion about the 08 election...

Yes, McCain is not a true conservative, and I am not happy with him on many issues. But there are a few reasons why he is the only choice:

1) Judges

2) Support of the military and the WOT

3) Judges

4) Permanent tax cuts

5) Judges

...if you ain't figured it out, the next 4 years is ALL about the judges.
