[Thunderflight]

Retired Marine July 1986- November 2014

Now I work for the Navy managing parts for ships. It's not near as sexy as jet fighters, helicopters, bombs and missiles, but it pays the bills and it is meaningful work.

 

["J"]

So, you’ve always worked for the Navy then?

 

[hickslawns]

I'm a lawn mower jockey, wheel barrow jockey, snow plow jockey, parking lot sweeper jockey, landlord, tree stand salesmen, plumber, carpenter, secretary, janitor, mechanic, backhoe operator, marketing/sales, welder, garbage man, HR, also in purchasing, nursery grower, accounts receivable, accounts payable Dept, equipment fabrication, and a couple other things. I even do laundry but I definitely don't cook.


My wife and kids just see me as the asshole who pays the bills though.

When we get new projects, I take the weld blueprints and write Planning/Work Instructions telling the welders which process to use. Same with Assembly. I love my job. Im also pretty good at drinking cold Bud Lights

I’ve been more of a lurker than a poster since finding this site. You guys seem to have a lot of years of history together so I don’t butt in too much.

I guess a thread like this is a way to get to know members.

I am a salesman in the manufacturing business. I sell cutting tools to plants that make stuff out of metal. That could be parts for cars, planes, medical devises, guns etc. I live in Cincinnati and work up and down I-75 with most of my time in Dayton.

I was a lurker once. You are the only thing keeping you from being family. Glad to have you around.

Btw, great thread Sgt!!!!

I will add that this is a profession I’m pretty new at. I’ve seemed to have changed a bunch of times. One of these days if I think of it, I’ll write up my work career.

Electrician by trade, although now in the capacity of estimator/supervisor. So my former peers are my subordinates and they are the reason I drink [emoji37]. Seriously though, I’m fortunate enough to truly enjoy what I do
