Good Question
 

In the 1970s, I was a Corpman and Drug/Alcohol Abuse Counselor in the Air Force, which gave me the misguided idea to go to graduate school for social work. For the last 32 years, I have been a Clinical Social Worker. From 1997until I retired in 2010, I worked with service members and their families. (I have been credentialed at both Walter Reed and NNMC-Bethesda.) This included post deployment combat veterans. (I hold additional certification for working with victims of trauma.) I also served in the Army Reserve as a Social Work Officer, retiring in 2004. :outta:

Since retiring in 2010, I do some part time EAP work (telephone counseling) for Carebridge Inc. I am also involved with The Soldier's Project, on a voluntary basis. http://thesoldiersprojectpa.org/ :flagwave:

They used to pay me to ride a Harley! Retired Motorcop.

I was,in the Army for almost 26 years as a Cav Trooper and attack heicopter aviator. I retired 1Dec2001. Worked 3years,in a crane company and hated it. worked 3years on the Army Training Model. Now I work on call, worldwide in logistics control for training exercises for 4star generals and their staffs.

I teach science at a local high school, and for a local university.

In my spare time I like to do freelance art jobs (been scrimshawing 1911 grips lately) to help make ends meet.

I'm also working on a Masters in Arts and Science, so I go to school at night. Other than that, and the obvious "powder-based" interests, I like to shoot pool, fish, and hunt. I hardly have time for that though. Most of the time I'm chasing my toddler son around the house and avoiding "honey-do's". :D

Jason, post some pictures of the grips that you have done scrimshaw on if you can!!:)

A friend of mine does the scrimshaw work for Randall knives!!

Wow. Randall, that's big-time. Love Randall knives (wish I could afford one)!

I would love to post the few photos I have of my work, but they might be a bit racy to post on the open forum. Nudes are sort of a traditional subject matter for scrimshaw, and that's what most of my customers have requested, so that's what I have photos of. If Clyde doesn't care, I can pm you (or anyone else that wants to see) some photos of some work I've done.

Jason, Clyde is so old that he might have a heart attack if he sees a naked woman!!!:D:D:D

That is cool, I thought maybe you did logos and animals, things like that!!!:)

Watch John, get Jack Slapped by his wife when he looks at your pics..........

Clyde

I'm a pharmacist, my wife and I (and our kids) run a Mom & Pop drugstore in a small town. ( pop. 1500)

Oh, well, truth be told, I'd prefer to do wildlife and stuff like that. It just seems most guys want the naked women on their pistols.

I did find a pic of a scrap piece of buffalo horn I had from some knife scales I made. I was playing around with a new scribe on it, so it's not "serious" work, but at least I can post something.
