I didn't go... :ugh2:


Maybe next year, provided I'm employed....:icon14:

Unfortunately, I'm at the age where most folks don't even want to bring me in for an interview.... :shakes head::shakes head:

I mentioned before that I share a garage with the BEST neighbor ever. Well, after I finished the FUCA install, I just put all my tools up and packed up the qj, I had crap all over the garage floor... bits and pieces of wrappers, pieces of plastic, broken retaining clips, etc.. Yesterday took the gf out, the neighbor was in the garage cleaning his wheels - hes not much of a car guy so he doesnt have many supplies.. I lent him my bottle of tire shine...came back home, and as I was pulling into the garage, the gf says "hey, you cleaned up the garage"... um, no I didnt... the neighbor did... I hope they dont ever move away!!
Oh, and when I saw him in the garage, he was apologizing for parking kinda close to my side of the garage.. :driving:

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to have to figure out the right key words because the initial search gave me a crap load of auto mechanic & Army National Guard jobs... WTF?!?!?! Why would a Marine even consider an ANG job?!?!?!?:gtfo2:

Maybe wanted to see how cushy the other half gets it? A/C, lax shaving, plenty of candy bars...

ANG is NOT the Chair Force! Although being a jarhead is kinda like being in the coast guard right Ghost? :nutswinger:

My pet peeve... seeing Army pukes running around in BDUs.... and looking like a soup sandwich.... :gtfo2:

Good grief, BDUs are a 'work' uniform, not a liberty uniform... FFS....:shakes head::shakes head:


Marines are taught to travel in Service A, Service C, Dress Blues or civilian clothes.... :tup::tup: though in the post 9/11 world, Service A might be a pain in the azz because of the metal detectors... :eek:

I never travelled in BDU's, unless it was for training, or deployment. Otherwise, it was Class A, B or shorts and a tshirt.. I was too poor to own a pair of dress blues.
Speaking of medals, when my MOS was done away with, I reclassed as an engineer. When I reported to AIT, I was in my class A's to meet with my new Drill Sergents (we had to train with the recruits in AIT), I think I pissed off the DS because as an E4, I had more salad on my jacket than he did as an E6. He told me he never wanted to see me in my Class As again until graduation..lol

Another possibility linked to armed forces would be checking into jobs for the DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency). They perform contract review and source inspections for companies who receive contracts from the gov't, and they really try to hire veterans. I interacted with them a lot in the Philly area. If you're interest, I can reach out to my contacts there and see if I can get you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks JL, I just got back on USAJOBS and I'm working through that process. I'm probably not going to move, so I'm looking for things in the KC metro area.

I'll take all the help I can get at this point. :)

Yea......know that feeling. :shakes head: Sometimes when I say that I retired from one position. They close their ears. :shakes head:

Have one headhunter wanting me to sent him my resume today.

My guess is there may be a DCMA branch in KC.

Come to think of it, I think one of my old COs is in KC and does policy writing for the DOD. Ill have to check on this for GV. He posted a job opening on facebook a month or two ago.

Those tend to be reasonably good jobs, and at least in my area there was enough turn over with people seeking better posts that things opened up periodically.

I'm at the alignment shop that redando recommended. My Z feels so inadequate. Its surrounded by porsche race cars and classics.

Rusty 05-20-2019 04:43 PM

Washed the Z today. We rode through a rain storm yesterday coming home. Had to clean some bacon grease off of the windshield on the inside. :icon14: That was from my wife. I got her what was left at breakfast, after Spoiler cleaned the place out. :shakes head:

Pintsize725 05-20-2019 04:54 PM

Had to decline the job offer today. Health insurance cost was too much for the little coverage offered. I tried to counter for a higher starting pay but they weren't having it. The search continues....

Rusty 05-20-2019 04:56 PM

Stand still while I smack you with some repZ. :tiphat:

Keep your head up and keep looking. Something will come along. ;)

Good move. That company sounds like they squeeze every penny with their butt cheeks.

Seriously. $209 a week for health insurance that covered nothing until you met the deductible. With our son undergoing specialist visits for autism screening, there's no way we could do it.

What's the deductable? Yeah, with the loss of your toll, higher insurance and underwhelming pay bump, you made a financially sound decision.

madwi 05-20-2019 05:34 PM

Stopped at wendy's for a burger and fries. :yum: So full I dont want to work.

When you're done you should stop by L-Spec and talk to Alex. He's in the middle of building my new(ish) Nismo.
