Jack and I knew each other when both of us were in the Army; Jack only served for 2 years, however I stayed for 10.
Jack and I kept in touch after he left the military. The people I was with and I visited with each other on a couple of strange occasions. I went to see Jack on the other side of the country. The 2 of us went camping and hunting for the week. A few years later, Jack came to the military base to hang out with me for a couple of nights. After I left the Army, I had to find a job. I told Jack that I was looking for something and he got me a job working with him at the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C repair center where he is an employee. Jack provided to let me stay in his house until I found a site of our own. I didn’t really see myself working as an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C repair worker, however I had the experience to do the work. I was a refrigeration and A/C worker in the military. I took Jack up on the offer and I got on an airplane and flew to the other side of the country. Jack picked me up at the airport and both of us opted to go directly to his job so I could meet the owner of the business. The guy was also former military. The people I was with and I talked about our training and the job and the guy seemed really happy to have me join their team. It’s been 6 weeks since I started working at the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C repair center. Jack and I are still sharing an apartment, but both of us got something greater with a family room for each 1 of us.
