“I’m sorry I don’t understand?” Captain Ward sighed because he explained all of this during the meeting they had earlier, “Anything with solid state circuitry is fried, and dead as in will never work again.

She became my first mentor and helped teach me more about pharmacy in the military world and the extra duties that came along with it. Whenever I had questions

and he also was very interested in airplanes. He served in the Air Force for eleven years, and then retired at the age of 36 as a Senior Master Sergeant..
