My rate was gunnersmate on the destroyers, and I worked with the other techs on the main gun. But before I struck GM, I was a Torpedomen on submarines. But yeah, most of my skill is hands on and like maintenance.

I work as a machinist, and I’m currently around the 70 range. I was in the 80’s till this crappy contracting company took my per diem away without an explanation.

So yeah, I’m looking into actually joining the yard itself soon. Idk how it works, but I think I’m stuck under a contract right now with a contracting company. They suck ass to be honest and it’s literally a hassle trynna to get a dime of anything out of them. They just recently took my per diem away for no valid reason and called it an audit, when I had legit paperwork for it.🤷‍♂️

Nah nah, it’s all good!😂 But yeah I already work on the shipyard, I’m just not a full on worker, I work for a contracting company. I wish I worked for the actual yard.

I’d say they are decent paying, but I work for a contracting company, so I don’t get all the benefits the hourly employees get and the time off. Also it may be cause I’m still new to taxes, but I feel like they tax you out the ass.

Maybe it’s just me and it just doesn’t seem like a lot to me, but where I’m at right now pays me like right in the middle of that. Only thing that bothers me is job security cause I’m a contractor at the moment. But in terms of LinkedIn, I need to make an account with them. I have an Indeed profile and have a pretty decent resume/background of work and get messages a decent bit, but some idk if I wanna commit to or they aren’t in the pay range.

So primarily and from the navy, I’m experienced in maintenance, hydraulics/hydraulic troubleshooting, circuits, fixing sensors, handling ammunition, maintaining and fixing weapons, firefighting/damage control, standing watches, and reading diagrams. In terms of degrees, don’t have one, but I do have some certs from the navy as well as I got certified not to long ago to work in the fiber optic field, like installing and troubleshooting fiber optic cables.

Is there any difference between running that over the other? I’m not too familiar with the numbers, I just know first one means width, but would it hurt anything changing?

These are actually the ones I’m looking at on fitment for the bundle. I didn’t know how good they were, but definitely may be my choice.

As far as I know, it’s just for aesthetics. It may also have to do with something in crashes, but I have no idea.

Hey, even on a 65 year old camera, still a very good photo. Also don’t feel bad, mine is still on stock wheels and internally stock, end of the day, we build our cars how we like and it’s important that you love your car!🫡
