After graduating from Andrew Jackson High School Max enrolled in the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The Naval Academy had a rule that graduates could not marry until two years after graduation.
Max decided to drop out and marry Dorothy Boyd who he had met in Jacksonville.
After Max left the United States Naval Academy he went to work for the United States Army Corps of Engineers on a levee-building project around Lake Okeechobee.
He decided to work for the Corps of Engineers because his father was not happy with him for dropping out of the Naval Academy.
Max worked on a dredge and killed alligators to sell their hides because there was nothing else to do.
