After five years in the Navy I got a job in the fire department at the NASA Plum Brook Station research facility in Sandusky, Ohio. After sixteen years that led to middle management (supervisor, section manager) for twenty more years. Then I spent my last three years in the Infrastucture Engineering office as an Engineering Technician. That totaled 39 years, all for private contractors.

I've been retired for six years but I keep active at our local gun club (membership just under 1,000) as a range officer.

Went in the Air Force right out of High School,served a tour in SEA, Instructed at Keesler, got out and joined the Air Guard. Spent twenty more years there(Ground Radio, Satt-Comm, Inside Wire, Small-Arms Spec, Quality Control), retired as a Master Sgt in 90. During that time I was employed at a Large Jet-Engine Factory in Evendale, Ohio. Retired from there after thirty years in 2010. Had a Gunsmithing shop for about 12 years also.

After high school I worked for my fathers marine canvas company and had a small vinyl graphics business doing mostly boat names and DOT numbers. In 2006 my father gave me a beer brewing kit for Christmas. I really enjoyed brewing and became very good at it do I decided to attend culinary school and open a brewery restaurant afterwards. During college I worked for the Bluegrass Brewing Company at the main production facility learning beer brewing on a large scale. I am currently a chef at 610 magnolia some of you may have heard of the owner he came in 5th on the seasons Top Chef. His name is Edward Lee he also was nominated for a James Beard award for this year. As for me I'm still waiting in the right opportunity to break away and start that brewery restaurant. Oh and lastly I will soon be a father my wife is due July 7 th!!

Very nice... One thing I learned early in life (meaning your age... :)) - follow what you love and you'll be successful - because success isn't measure by bank account, it's measured by happiness. When I used to drink beer, I made my own and enjoyed it a lot.

And - Congrats!! on the new arrival. Kids are great!

+1 on that. I had an absolute dream job designing, building, and deploying James Bond/Mission Impossible type surveillance gadgets. Took a promotion for more money, which meant giving up my great job, and regretted it for the next twelve years. Follow your dreams, not your bank account.

I need to look around here more often!

Graduated HS 1969 in suburban Detroit, graduated college and married the only woman on earth that could possibly put up with me in 1976. We have had a long and winding road from Michigan to Iowa to Michigan to Ohio to Connecticut. I am a restaurant manager, she is a nurse.

Our daughter is a Mechanical Engineer (UConn), she and her husband have produced the World's Most Perfect two year old Granddaughter for us to spoil.

Our son is a Gunners Mate in the Coast Guard, currently stationed in Miami.

My entree to the COTEP world is a pre-CZ PM-1S Major, which I love shooting, it is a much better shooter than I am.

Let me say first that this is my first post and want to say thanks to the folks welcoming me. There were a few questions on where in GA did I hang my hat. The answer is in the Augusta area. Let me tell you that it has been 'slap your momma hot' the past few days but it is July and it is Georgia.

OK, I retired after 24+ years in the United States Army in the communications field. Mostly working in radio frequency management, a fancy term for radio stuff. I continue to work to pay the bills and currently support our Finest in that same field. I travel about half the time but with an iPad I get to stay in touch.

A very diverse gaggle we have. This is just great.

I am an actuary.

I did my time in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, 98% of my entire career was with the 2nd Marine Division as a medic. After retirement I used my GI bill to get both my BA and MA in Nursing and now work as a travelling RN while my wife is a Cardiologist moonlighting in family practice from time to time.

I am a professional audio engineer (sound guy/monitor guy) most of the time, but recently took up work doing more stage work. I am currently working as a stage left guitar tech and doing a 6 week tour in Europe.

Navy, E1-E6, O1-O5 Unrestricted Line, mostly Surface Warfare.

Electrical Engineer, Computer Scientist. All my education (BSEE, MSCS) through the military. After I retired in '92, I started one of the first Internet Service Providers. This was back in the day of 9600bps modems, and terminal interfaces.

Was later VP of Engineering at a long haul networking company.

Now founder and CTO of an Internet software and services company. If you want to be bored and find out more, check out our web site at www.concursive.com. We've been at this one for 12 long and difficult years now.

I'm getting tired of being the last one paid and the first one to work nights and weekends :(

Wouldn't it be nice if the economy came back! I'm the poster child of "The government didn't build this, I built it."

Anyway, enough whining!

I'm a ASE certified mechanic working for Palm Beach County Fleet. Working the specialized equipment shop. Everything for weedeaters to Swamp buggies on 2.5 rockwells, airboats, and vehicles.

Only 24 more years till retirement..........

I wouldn't hold your breath to much on that, you should add 10 more years to that, the way our country is going now............

Ed

I was in the Navy.

Worked in Civil Engineering.

Retired.

Now I mostly annoy my wife and turn gunpowder into smoke.

Wife asked me what I was going to do today, I told her "nothing". She said "that's what you did yesterday". I said "I wasn't finished".

I should be able to see in a few days when the swelling goes away. :o

I make tired big gray ships run like new for another 25 or so years

funny funny funny

They've already outsourced our parts department to Napa. We're just waiting for Penske to come in with a good enough offer to take over the technician side of it. Very scary times we live in right now for anyone in Gov jobs.

Because we are the problem not the management above us workers. We have to produce with results. We have productivity reports every month and we don't do well we get in trouble or get fired...........yes it does happen. But thats not what......


I ain't going into it............:mad:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just retired myself. I might use this if you don't mind.

Civil and Mining Engineer, primarily consulting to the mining industry.

Feel free, I probably stole it myself. Can't remember being sharp enough to come up with it myself. ;)

I do know one of the neighbors asked the wife how I was and heard her reply, "Oh, better than nothing, I guess", so enjoy retirement and remember it's our job to be underfoot. That way she'll say "go do something" and I'm off to the range. :D

Me too! :funny:

Automotive refinishing and custom painting. I work for my family's business in LA and wouldnt trade it for any job in the world. The vibrance and beauty of color is amazing...
