Not liking that option, Jack completed Navy officer candidate school and was commissioned Ensign. He went to sea, got salt water in his veins and spent the next 21 years in the Navy, serving on five ships, with two tours in Vietnam. During his career he received a Masters degree from George Washington University. He retired as a Commander and, using his journalism and Navy technical training, worked as a technical writer in the pipeline industry, retiring again in 1996 when he started his own technical writing business. He retired again in 2012 to a retirement community in North Carolina. He is married to Juliet (Jill) and has four daughters, a son, and one stepdaughter.vizualizați mai puține
