After 911, I looked for specific jobs and service I could perform to serve my country. Military recruiters (of course) said I was too old at 45.

My DOD contractor contacts who might have gotten me onboard working on systems for upcoming or ongoing military operations were old and no longer active.

I ultimately was able to find a position using my technical background and love for the outdoors working security issues for intermountain regional infrastructure operated by the federal government, designing, setting-up, maintaining, trouble shooting and repairing those types of systems.

This trip was in conjunction with those activities and I thought folks here would be interested.

I Love the Rocky Mountain region. NM Four Corners area is not quite in the mountains but they aren't too far off!

Jeff, it's very encouraging to hear this and I should have known if anyone was doing something to secure the homeland, it would be you! 45 years old?? No wonder every agency I contacted to offer help turned me down!! LOL!! Nice to see some Idaho pictures, thanks.

For folks who want to volunteer and can't seem to find a place, your local volunteer fire Dept. or County OES CERT training may be of interest: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/CERT/
