I asked Mr. Schrader to tell me a little about him self and here is an email he sent:
I spent 4 years in the 82nd Airborne Division Ft. Bragg, NC. I was a Tow Gunner in the Infantry in the 2nd Battalion 508th Infantry Company. I reached the rank of E5 SGT.I have 36 jumps to my credit, jumping out of planes and helicopters. During those 4 years I was one of the first ones in the Grenada Invasion and I am a Combat Veteran. My company did the recon before we captured Noriaga from Panama. Spent 6 months in the Sinai Peninsula as an observer for the peace of Israel and Egypt. Got scuba qualified in the Red Sea where we patrolled for mines in the Red Sea. Just a few of the places that I have been: Israel, Egypt, Jordon, Lebanon, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico, Grenada, Canada, Alaska(cold weather training) and Panama.
I also spent 2 years in the 11th Special Forces Company, Active Reserves. There I was a Radio Communications Sgt.
After I got out of the Military I worked in the Post Office for 8 Years in Fayetteville, NC. I started my own business in 1994 in Pike County mining silica sand and gravel for the recreational and industrial markets. We sold gravel to AK Steel and they used it to make the steel for car bodies. In 2008 I sold my company to an oil and gas company out of Denver, CO. They bought my company to get in the Frack Sand Market for fracking the oil and gas wells in West Va., PA and Ohio and that is there main market today and I am their Plant Manager. I hope I didn’t bore you.
