What do you do for a living?
Right now I run a parts department at a full service truck leasing and auto/diesel repair shop. Now I'm thinking about applying for the Maryland Transportation Authority Police. What do you do?

Saw the pictures though...they called it Swamp Buggy...there was mud, water, grass, seaweed, you name it, crammed into all the inlets and any opening on that jet. I think I asked before, but what's your last name and what rank was your dad when he was here at Dyess?
