I think mine was as a Field Engineer. I worked for a division of IT&T that provided people all over the world.
My first and longest assignment was in the Far East. I was in Korea, Japan and Okinawa, living out of a suitcase. I remember one night I am on top of a van with the wind blowing off the Yellow Sea, trying to screw something together with numb hands.
Speaking of numb, my next assignment was on the DEW Line on the North Coast of Alaska in the winter.
My last assignment was in Scotland, which I loved. After years in the Far East, with dark hair and blue eyes, I looked like the locals.
I was able to go out on short sailing on 2 nuclear subs, one of which was the SSBN George Washington, which Gumby served on years later.
