I became a Canadian Citizen and served 20 years with the Canadian Forces from 1976 until January of 1996.
During my career with the military I served 5 years in the Artillery and moved on to Military Intelligence where I specialized as a Strategic Imagery Interpreter working with satellite imagery.
