What do you do for a living?

Hey Vortec, we work for our fellow Americans. Thanks for the support.

KP, you ARE the most hated job in th Army, but it depends on who's giving the ticket. I have served with some cool MP's, and I have been pulled over by both sides of the cool/not so-cool types.

All you guys with the cool tech skills, I'm coming to you soon. I have lots of beer and my new house has garage........:wstupid:

Watch out for KP .... he'll be pulling us over just for shits and giggles. If he does, just get out of the truck and run away.

Probably IPTV...it's digital delivery of television through fiber. It's starting to kick the tail of traditional RF and cable delivery. We are in the chase of quite a few IPTV jobs right now.

Yeah, it's IPTV. The quality is so much better than what we were getting through Charter (blah). The internet service (10MB up/down) is simply amazing, too.

Dozer -- make sure you sign up for CDE Lightband; don't use Charter or Bellsouth/ATT
 
Certified Personal Trainer since 04, but got back in school so a student right now. I used to work for L.A Fitness in the morning, private clients in the afternoon, then I would work with athletes with physical disabilities in the evenings and weekends. I was a trainer with the US Paralympic Wheelchair Fencing team for a while which was cool because I got to travel with them to a couple championships in Italy and Canada. Training able body people and athletes is fun but its surprising how many people loose motivation from mental tiredness. Their body had more to give but they just mentally can't stay with it. It's interesting working with the disabled clients and seeing their bodies real limitations but at the same time they never stop working.
The determination of some of them is something out of a movie.... but too much to get into for this thread.... I am done now.
 
I have had many jobs: saw mill grunt, shrimp boat fisherman, residential construction / electrician helper, draftsman in a nuke plant, worked a long time in a truck body manufacturing industry (those of you in the southeast that know Pike and Duke Power - I designed a few of those bodies), then into Computers and IT / Networking, then back to residential electrician.

I am now a self-employed IT / Systems Admin / Web Tech (Programmer mainly PHP and MySQL)

A little over a year Active duty Air Force. I am in Flight training at NAS Pensacola. I finish primary in a week hopefully, and from there to Intermediate and advanced. My hope is to pick up a slot to fly the F-15e Strike Eagle.

Right now I also do a GREAT job of getting work to people like Redneck and Timmy. So far I have oversped a gear door (XXXXer popped back open as we reached cruise altitude, almost 100kts fast, or atleast the red light came on), turned a bird in for red oil pressure annunciator, and turned in one for a pretty nasty and persistant harmonic at low PCL setings.

so a f-15 flies up to a c-130 and the fast mover say to the hurk, "hey hurky bird, wanna see something cool?" the cargo bird responds "sure man"

the 15 screams away at full after burner, rolls over in to and inverted loop, and flys by at mach 1.

after his little show he come back to the C-130 and smugly says "top that"

10 min go by. smooth level flight is all the hurk does. "DID YA SEE THAT?! i just went and took a sh**, made a snack and got a cup of coffee."


i <3 my birds :D

yea, that joke is starting to get used for UAV's a lot. C130's are really cool birds, if I was a pilot I would seriously consider them. Since I am in WSO or backseater training I don't really want to be the c-130 nav. I feel I have been conditioned to the warheads on foreheads and speed is life mentality anyway, so that really only leaves me one or two options from here.
 
I piss excellence on a daily basis and get paid for it.
 
Starting my Senior Year in Mechanical Engineering Technology tomorrow, and just started working at Advance Auto the week before last as a parts junkie.
 
I'm a student and I graduate in December with a Business Degree.

From there I work for dad.....we make bullets. Maybe one day we'll get into something else, but for now, it does quite nice.
