I guess I'll just try harder!
I've been recruiting for a year and half. Half way done! Its not horrible, but I'm ready to get back to the "real" Army. I hate stupid parents.
How long you been at it? I read your story on MJ a while back about getting chased by thugs....way to help a fellow Sailor! lmao :laugh2:

I am an IT in the Coast Guard.
I spend 20% of the day sitting behind my computer doing work, 40% dealing with computer illiterate people, and the other 40% I spend doing manual labor such as pulling cable and installing phones/work stations.

My classification is Inside Journeyman Wireman. We are fortunate to have the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (Berwick, PA) in our territory, so we have a repeat customer. There's a ton of stuff on the books, but nothin's shakin' yet. So' for the first time since I started working in 1971, I've got a summer off. I've only been an electrician for ten years, and in the Local for three. Even the scab I used to work for is idled right now. But if I was still employed in food sales, like I was for almost thirty years, I'd be busy as hell right now!

I work in customer service for the largest furniture appliance and electronics retailer in the country. Deal with pissed off people who are barely smart enough to dial a phone, and surf naxja in between calls.

Haha atleast you have a sense of humor about it
You got to man. Im secure enough in my manhood. You get a lot of kids who think it's funny to make gay chokes to try and make themselves look cool in front of their friends. had a kid actually ask me in front of his class "So as a sailor, do you like c**k?" my response: "dude, I am married to a drop dead gorgeous asian woman who wants a child and has nice soft cuddly bits. So if your trying to proposition me, perhaps you should ask someone else." His friends laughed at him. Funny part is, he joined the Navy a month later.
:roflmao: made my day thanks

Recruiting duty is very diffrent from the field, i find the better you where in the field, the harder it will be to adjust to recruiting. I've been doing it for just under three years. Next month is my last month, after that I check out and head to Chicago for school and then to San diego for 5 years. And that kid that I had to go help was one of my first contracts.

I drive a truck and pump gas for the Air Guard. Just like my mom warned me, if I didn't study harder in school. Maybe I'll listen to her next time.

I'm in the Coast Guard and schedule homeland security patrols...when my computer is working...lately spend 80% of my day waiting for someone from the IT shop to fix my previously working workstation after an upgrade to Vista. The other 20% of my time is harassing the junior officers.

I haven't worked on any projects that far east. The Superfund site that I worked on is in western Texas and is an old oil refinery that was closed in the 1950's. There's a few million gallons of product sitting on the water table that we designed a pump and treat system for. Projected remediation time for this project is 20 years on the short term and should things go poorly 40~50 years on long term.
I'll look that Superfund project up tonight for some light reading.
Thanks!

I work for a Mercedes-Benz dealer as a Tech.
Often I think how could I be working for the company who killed the XJ and the 4.0, then I remember how chitty it is being unemployed, and realize how nice the cars are.

Air Force Strike Nav - in training
currently I am in my last few instrument simulators and next week I go back flight side to fly for 12 or so hops. Then I transition into VNAV and formation routes. Then I move across the Hanger to another squadron for strike training. I got about 8 months left till I wing. Hopefully heading back to North Carolina to fly in fighters after that. It is getting pretty hard but I love my job right now.
