Robert attended Virginia Tech, studying to be an engineer, following in his father's footsteps. However, it was during World War II, and, as he puts it, he "couldn't see myself as a foot soldier sloshing around in the mud, so I decided I wanted to learn how to fly. After taking and passing the exams for Naval aviation cadet in December of 1942, I enlisted, much to the dismay of my mother." That began a 21-year career as a Marine Corps pilot, first as the pilot of a torpedo plane, then as a fighter pilot. Upon retirement in 1953, he had landed 501 times on aircraft carriers, and was the only Marine with over 500 landings. Prior to his retirement, he had entered into a ranching partnership on the Palomas Ranch in Deming, New Mexico. Upon retirement, he bought the High Mesa Ranch in Ruidoso, New Mexico, and began raising and training horses. Later, he acquired what was known as the Bible Farm in nearby Hondo and raised registered Brangus cattle and alfalfa. He later sold the Palomos Ranch to developers. He suffered a stroke in April of 1999, but has recovered completely.
