He graduated high school in California followed by an unremarkable career at the University of Arizona where he became a top ROTC cadet officer. He volunteered for the US Air Force serving with the Military Airlift Command Travis AFB, California and in communications at the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. He was assigned to Cam Ranh Bay Air Base, Vietnam just in time for the Tet Offensive of 1969 -- where he worked over two-years in top-secret communications as a command post coordinator in computers, tele-communications, and ground-based navigational-aids for six air bases in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. He "survived" dual-duty with the12th Security Police as a perimeter combat marksman during 30 enemy attacks. After more than two years in Vietnam, including one combat tour plus three voluntary combat assignments, Currier received the Presidential Unit Citation, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with "V" for valor device & 2 oak leaf clusters, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with 5 bronze campaign battle stars, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Vietnam Gallantry Cross Medal with Palm.
The author has traveled widely around North America, Japan, Indonesia, the Caribbean, Great Britain, Scandinavia and Australia during his lifetime. After the military, he returned to work for the SP-UP railroad and, later, served as terminal manager and labor relations officer at the Port of Los Angeles. That was followed by a 20-year management career in lending, insurance, and banking. He served four years as director of a large California bank -- then co-founded a regional mortgage loan company based in Phoenix; both of which required traveling many times to Washington and New York as a liaison with Wall Street bond-rating agencies and investment banks.
He served three years as a fraud investigations coordinator working with FDIC and FBI investigators. He is the author of employer-specific operating manuals and has taught community education finance courses at Eastern New Mexico University. Currier is now retired, living in the central highlands of New Mexico with his wife of 30-years where they bred, raised and raced thoroughbred horses (1997--2008). He is a vocal advocate for military Veterans and families -- and was the radio Host of "Legacy Watch Veterans Hour" for nearly 2-years -- a weekly program broadcast to 26 regional radio stations. He is a member of the American Legion and a Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) – while working on his golf game and his next two history books about the American intelligence community -- to be released in late-2017.weniger sehen
