BACK TO A NORMAL ROUTINE
Jesus Ochoa recently returned from a year fo
service as a member of the National Guard patrolling California's
airports. The campus custodian, who workes in the Pollak Library,
doesn't remember much of 2003. "It's a blur," said Ochoa,
who has served for 18 years with the guard and nine years with Cal
State Fullerton. He was called up in January 2003 and traveled to
Ft. Lewis, Wash., before being assigned. "The hardest thing
was the long hours," Ochoa said, reporting that he served 12-hour
patrol shifts for six days followed by three-day leaves.
