Chief Roger Hull Served in the United States Navy for 24 years as an Electronic Countermeasure Technician.  But he didn't just start out as chief, he had to work for it, and work he did.  He made Chief in the fall of 1991.  

Originally Chief was accepted into college but he disliked school so much that he joined the Navy.  This was not his only reason for joining the Navy, of course. He also joined the Navy to gain skills that he could use elsewhere, and "I felt strongly about paying my debt to my country for giving me a free [nation] to live in."  

In the Navy, Chief Hull worked in Squadrons VAQ (Fixed Wing Aircraft) 135, 139, 137, and 141.  He said that in the Navy they "Worked hard, and played hard."  

Chief Hull got out of the Navy in 1996 and took up teaching. He was "not thrilled with the caliber of sailors coiming into [the Navy]." He says that the recruits the knew their rights but not their responsibilities.  He became a teacher to help fix this problem.  And as of today he still has "No regret" of becoming a teacher, and neither do I.
