After graduating Cornell I, Charles Stuppard '82, worked as a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer designing aircraft. There I met Dominick Capuano who served in World War II. After three years worth of telling me war stories, he finally said, 'You should join the military and pay your dues.' I said, I have no military background. Dominick said, it's ok they will teach you, if you keep out of trouble you might make Lieutenant Commander (LCDR). I agreed and signed up for 6 years.
