bigdaddyhatty 65 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm an aircraft mechanic on F18 Hornets (DoD Contractor) I used to troubleshoot and launch F14 Tomcats on the flight deck of aircraft carriers, if they hadn't decomissioned the F14 I might have stayed in the USN. I like my job, I'm glad to have it, but I need get another one, or one that pays more, or stop buying guns and ammo, maybe all of the above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Unemployed loser at the moment. I am finishing up a semsester in law school. Hopefully I will be in a position in a few years to help people who get things done do them better. I've worked at several jobs where badly put together deals left a lot of people out of work, that could have been prevented with some foresight and solved with better negotiation. I am hoping to be working as a 1L lackey at a local firm for the summer, but I haven't got work lined up yet. I have done a lot of different things over the years but nothing impressinve: 13 seasons of sockeye fishing in Bristol bay. If I wanted to make a life of that, I would have bought a boat and permit years ago and payed it off long since too. Residential construction for a couple years Metal fab for boat related stuff mostly. I spent a few months cutting up a really cool ship that set world records. google "AGEH -1" or Plainview. I worked for a couple of years building industrial equipment for the RV industry- Vacuum presses mostly. A couple of years being various kinds of secretary at a jail. You find out a lot about what goes on in the county with a job like that. I volunteered for about a year in the prosecutors's office while I was going to college full time. It felt very good to help people and have a part in justice.I put in over 30 hours a week on paper. Plus more not on paper. plus a part time job of usually around 36 hours cleaning rental cars. That is also around the time that I started learning how to have a social life. I wish I had the energy now. Occasional work bouncing around a department store. Odd jobs while trying to get work as a paralegal. Hanging nets while I was in school over the winters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebuns1 4,323 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 had many different jobs in my youth. last nineteen years have been self employed. Captain, strangely enough in the garage door and operator industry. i'm no tailgater. though i mostly work alone, i cover all aspects. residential, commercial, rolling steel, truck & trailer doors. welding and fabrication. mall grilles. i work in six counties. i have not advertised in over five years. i can feel your pain. ive rode ladders down more than once. its good to see someone else that does it! i usually work alone too running my truck. sometimes i get help, but good help is hard to find in this industry. most kids are afraid of heights, dont want to do the amount of work involved, or both. luckily i dont fall that often, but when i do its usually painul. i need new ladders anyways. my 10 and 12' ones have been walked so much that they become very unstable the higher up you go on them. its not the fall that bugs me, its the sudden stop at the end, or what i might hit on the way down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cvasqu03 21 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Currently Staff Historian at United States Southern Command. Trying to finish up my Ph.D so someday I may qualify to be the Command Historian at either SOUTHCOM or another cocom (preferably CENTCOM since it's in Florida). Not sure I want to start teaching college just yet, but being historian at a cocom is a pretty awesome deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
