Navy at the age of fifteen near the beginning of the Korean War. After Boot Camp and Electricians' Mate School at Great Lakes, Illinois; he served aboard an escort carrier from which flew a group of Marine F4U Corsair aircraft known as the Checkerboard Squadron. The Gull winged, propeller driven aircraft operated close air support for the United Nations troops fighting in "The Forgotten War." Doug was Honorably discharged after four years of service, after which he was accepted as an undergraduate student in what is now known as The University of Nebraska at Kearney. He taught school in western Nebraska for three years after graduation. Then he entered the Federal service as an investigator with the U. S. Civil Service Commission (CSC).
After working eight years as an investigator in the Midwest, he was transferred to Washington, D. C. where he continued working with the CSC, the U. S. Information Agency, the Federal Energy Administration, and the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE). While working for DOE, he served as a detailee to the White House Security Office in the Carter administration. He was later assigned to the protective security detail for three Secretaries of Energy while the protectees were in foreign travel.
"I finished reading 'Incredible Journey' this afternoon. It was hard to put down, and there were several places that were so amusing that I had tears running down my face. Doug is definitely an expert at describing humorous detail. The altercation between Ed and Ambassador Howell was fun to read about. I was laughing so hard I was crying trying to get through the story about the Jeddah restroom facilities." Irene Gomez
"I laughed at times until tears were running down my cheeks, and other times I cried for you and the pains you had. To me it is superb from page 1 on through the last line." Dolores Johnslihat lebih sedikit
