23 year veteran NYSDOCCS C.O. in a MAX-A Classified C.F. in Northern NY. My current job is O.I.C. of the P.C./I.P.C. S.H.U. I just bid for a Wall Post relief job, but I doubt I'll get it with only 23 years on the job.

 

I also own a small (189 acre) farm, so there's never a shortage of things to do and sometimes build furniture. Those are more hobbies now, but it makes a few bucks here and there.

 

 

I was just awarded the Wall Post relief job. Now I'll be watching the backs of the good guys on the ground from towers armed with Departmental weapons. No more direct inmate contact.

That's awesome! I'm gonna be resource for a long time yet but that's ok, I gotta learn the job. Hats off to you and all the other Senior Officers at GM that are helping me and the other "new jacks" learn the job every day. There are a lot of us coming thru right now and the help is appreciated, thank you.

Stay in the fight, friend. Help will be there. Good things come with time.

Made Tacos. Dug ditches. Shoveled horse shit. Washed cars. Made sandwiches. Worked in a door factory. Bussed tables. Tended bar in fine restaurants, cowboy bars, and complete shitholes. Sang in a country band. Played guitar and sang in bars that no one ever heard of. Apprenticed as a silver and goldsmith, worked at the bench as a silver and goldsmith. Apprenticed as a designer, production designer, product designer/engineer. Worked as a designer and production manager. Quit. Started my own business. Exported jewelry to Europe. Did great and then got my ass kicked by the exchange rate and came back to design and manufacture here.

 

Eventually - Gold went up. Silver went up. One day, on the way back from a sales trip - someone figured out that I had a shitload of jewelry in the trunk of my car, and they decided they were going to take it from me. I outran them. They failed - but it made an indelible impression upon me.

 

I build guns for a living now.

....And you feel .223/5.56 is insufficient to engage 2 legged varmints?

I spent half of my professional life in the military with my knees-in-the-breeze and never saw anyone walk away from a solid CM /CNS hit. Just curious how you came about your bias.

No bias, brother.

 

.223 as a semi auto round is currently being demonized as an "Assault Weapon" round. If you are not confident that you can bring down a 300 pound hog, 250 pound buck, or 300 pound bear, or 200 pound cartel thug with a single round, or two, or three rounds, before you are gored, mauled, beaten or shot to death, it isn't even an effective defensive round - never mind an "Assault" round suitable for a so called "Assault Weapon".

 

Unless you have actually been under "assault", (present company respectfully excluded, McBeau) you have absolutely no fucking idea what "assault", or"Assault Weapon" means.

 

If I'm out on the farm, and see a coyote after the livestock, or a coon in the vegetables, a semi auto .223 will do just fine. If I'm dealing with mutiple assailants, I want a real gun, and as many rounds as I can send downrange .

Worked in the private sector, then for a local government, then the state, then a local government again, then the private sector. Right now, I'm unemployed. However, I did accept a position and will be starting one of my old jobs again next week.

 

Other than that, I've been a Kitchen FFL since 2006. Would love to go big someday and maybe even get into building stuff (07) since I've got tons of ideas and have always been a tinkerer, but I gotta build the capital first in order to go there someday. Of course with the way this country is going, I'm probably better off opening a cyber cafe called "Gun Free Coffee House".

My family has a ever changing business. For the last 12 years I have been installing GPS controllers and making equipment steer itself. But lately, I have been tearing down tractors, sprayers, anything Ag related, and sending it to Spassk, Russia. We have been farming in Russia for two years. I myself have never been there yet...but sounds like I will be sometime...I should post pictures a tractor in a container is something everyone should see!!! Lol!!!
