Good for you, coming home to be with your wife. Always interesting to discover that someone you know works in a related industry.

I have been in construction my entire adult life. First as a carpenter, and for the last 15 years as a tile setter. That all ends December 31 as I have been accepted into the Nursing program at one of our state universities.

[Don K]

Heavy Equipment operator for the largest Waste company in North America. Not the most glamorous job, but I'm on my 32nd year with this company, and have been in the industry my entire life as my grandfather started his business in the 30s. At 52 I'm looking to pull my pension in the next couple years and work part time and do some major hunting.

Happily retired. The best job I ever had. I spent my early career assembling ditching machines for farm drainage, then worked for the world's largest soap maker. I still came home dirty and greasy, but at least I smelled like soap. I always scoffed at retirees that said they were so busy they don't know how they ever had time to work. Now I can attest that they were right.

VERY COOL. You should post some pics in the plane. I'm jealous. I have a F-14 replica in my son's room on top of his dresser (as close as I'll get, LOL).

I started the F18 A & B models on ship 1 and also ship 1 on the E & F Super Hornet. Great airplanes.

 

[Alaskabound2016]

I am contracted with the US Navy and do work called Telemetry. Basically, we travel to remote sites or anywhere there is a US Navy base and collect missile data. Whether it be from a range on the coast or actually riding on a US Navy ship, such as a Destroyer, Cruiser or Carrier.
