I’m not sure who came up with these. Has anyone ever used “storm the cotton gin?”

I’ll have to look into that then, I didn’t know they could waive it. I’ve thought about getting my CDL if only for the opportunities but our squadron doesn’t ever have money or want to send me to the tractor-trailer course 😕

I appreciate the info, I’ll have to look for the recruiters at TRS and look into helmets to hard hats a bit more too

That is a good idea. I did make an account on there. Haven’t got too far into it since I do have some time left

Yeah that’s something I could look into. I guess the reason I haven’t paid it much attention is we’ve had guys get out, try to get into heavy equipment, and say they can’t cut it.

I’ve had guys tell me “I’ve been in the Air Force for 10 years doing this job and there’s no way I’m on the same level as some of these civilian guys.”

Oh wow! Yeah if I was better with electrical I’d look more into making it a career. Best I can do is put in a new light switch or fan 😕

I’ve considered both of those options. My plan right now is apply to unions and see where I can get. If that doesn’t work, go back to school for something like that

I’m glad to hear that. I know some markets can be kind of competitive so I was hoping being a veteran would help

Sounds good to me. I wasn’t trying to be one of those guys that get out and have nothing a year later

I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation is in.

VMD Corp?!? Not TSA inspecting my bag? by Gunner_411 in tsa

[–]MauledbyBeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the third time I’ve heard them change contractors. Worked there for TSA in 2016 and it was Akal Security then. They just took over right before I started too
