This is a true story that Charles Sisk had narrow death experiences from his childhood in poverty to the present day.
Here is 23 times of his life threatening close calls.
Charles enlisted in the Air Force at age18 and after basic training he was assigned to a Strategic Air Base (SAC) located at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He never talked about his work there as it was of Secret nature but involved the operation of the B-52 bombers. Perhaps that is why he was offered a job in the State Department as Communications Clerk after discharge from the Air Force. Charles gradually worked his way up the Staff Corp ladder and was moved from communications to General Services Officer assistant which he loved and performed well. His big break came in Ghana when the State Department offered certain Staff Corp employees an opportunity to become Foreign Service Officers under a lateral entry program. Charles jumped at this opportunity to better himself and became an FSO-6. His assignments after that included Nigeria, (Lagos and Kaduna), Stockholm, Guatemala City, Guangzhou China, Sydney Australia and Mogadishu, Somalia where he retired at age 50. Because of his expertise in the administrative field and familiarization of Africa, he immediately applied for and was accepted as an Administrative Rover for Africa. He finally retired about 6 years later.
Charles always loves golf and he obtained teaching certificate from USGTF (United States Golf Teachers Federation) at age 60 in Florida. His lowest score ever was 67 at a difficult mountain golf course in West Virginia at age 68.
He had the experiences of house fire, facing down a drunk with a shotgun and pistol, drowning, and so many more near death experiences in his life. He feels so fortunate to still be alive today and wants to share his experiences with you.
