Although the industries are corrupted and needs major criminal prosecution. I took Industry related
courses in High School such as Welding, Machine Shop
, Drafting , and Auto Mechanics. I also had a strong
interest in Computers and spent much time learning
Basic Programming Language as a Hobby. My last two
years of High School instead of focusing on any one
of the 4 Vocational Courses I decided to work twords
a College Preparation , it was a little late but I
tried to play catch up with advanced math, science ,
and other courses , which ended up allowing me a
chance to go to a Community College to take some
introductory courses and work twords a Data
Processing education. I was working also and trying
to do full time studies; I wasn't doing well and
decided to go into the U.S. Navy to move forward.
I spent much time studying in the Military before
going to my first Ship. My rating was Machinest Mate
which fit well to my background, but I felt my
computer interests were a strong point I had which
could not be utilized much at the time. I learned
much during my 5 years on Ships. I not only worked in
the main propultion , engine rooms but also in
Auxillary Division covering practially every
mechanical device imaginable. I was stationed aboard
a Helocopter Carrier for much of my time and work
extensively on the Hydraulic Systems , sometimes
related to the lifting of Large Aircraft via
Elevators from one level of the ship to another. I
furthered my knowledge of Boiler and Propultion
Turbines also during this time , as to pass a
written and oral examination for the Los Angeles
Department of Building and Safety, to operate
Unlimited Boilers with a Steam Turbine Endorsement.
Commonly known as a Stationary Engineers Licence.
I then completed my enlistment , and gained
Employment for a Power Plant Operations Company,
General Electric Power Systems,
(formerly) Granet Professional and Technical Services,
(formerly)General Electric Energy Plant Operations, (formerly Stewart and Stevenson Operations International). I
had worked for this Company for over 9 years.
I operated a Cogeneration Power Plant at the capacity
of Shift Supervisor , which utilizes an
Aeroderivitive Gas Turbine, Waste Heat Boiler and
Steam Turbine to create Electricity as well as supply
refrigeration via a large Ammonia Refrigeration Unit
for a Ice Factory Process. While working here I have
tried to furthered my knowledge of computers and
electronics by completing a correspondance course thru the
McGraw Hill School labeled Master Course in Micro Computers
and Micro Processors and study for A+ Certification for
Computer Technician. I recieved my First Class 1A Engineer Licence in Minnesota but they never sent me a renewal for it , then they said it expired. More Corruption. I worked Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, and Electrical after leaving General Electric. I worked for Max Plumbing and Cotton's Plumbing, Shane Cotton is my Cousin and he took advantage of me by only giving me $7.50 an hour and 10 hours a week. Corruption even in the Family. Max worked me hard for a month, doing everything including all the odd jobs cutting fire wood excetra then fired me for no reason. More Corruption. I now work Shuttle Driver as well as the Custodial for Hudson Automotive who pay me the minimum wage $7.25 Of course the Pennyroyal Mental Health Clinic and Kentucky State Police feel that is all I deserve from my efforts so far in life and have classified me as a Paranoid Psycotic, which the Social Security Admin. certainly disagree's with. Hopefully Budget cuts will return the favor, because Your and unwillingly my hard earned tax dollars have been at work feeding all of them.
