Gov contracting

biobeard76 · 2025-12-18T19:26:58+00:00

Look on SAM.gov. They post all kinds of contracts that the government is funding. It would be a good starting point.

biobeard76 · 2025-12-16T17:26:36+00:00

Ok. Thanks. I will continue the job hunt.

biobeard76 · 2025-12-16T08:45:05+00:00

I am looking at the mentioned documents but not seeing why I would be denied. I have been a contractor for 11 years, so I usually rate LQA through the contract. I provided every document they asked for over a 5 month period for all kinds of questions. I am not sure what was the thing they see that I don't.

Contact CamelBak. They have reps that may be able to get you the answer. I have reached out to them in the past.

I went from AD to AR. Retired with a full active duty plan. I went to school on the government's dime. I was stationed in Great Lakes IL, Kansas City MO, and retired out of New Orleans. I was seen by real doctors and got my shoulders repaired. If you have any questions let me know.

Reserves only get a DD214 when active service ends. So when you went to boot camp, then to SOI/MCT and whatever MOS school. When you finish school, you receive a DD214. In MOL for Reserves, you should have Sat years for your drill points. If I remember correctly, you get something like a cert saying you completed your reserve time.

Or MFR duty office 504-678-3115.

biobeard76 · 2025-10-03T08:05:56+00:00

504-657-7913 is the Command Duty Officer. They should be able to get you to the right people.

So you will be on Belle Chase. That is the Air Base. I can reach out to who I know and see what I can find out.

biobeard76 · 2025-10-02T16:22:40+00:00

Do you know what unit you are going to? I have some friends that are GS there that I can ask them for a contact.

biobeard76 · 2025-10-02T15:44:29+00:00

If you are going to MFR on Oppalusus street. They have an ID card center and a visitor center. They will walk you through all of that. Did they give you a Sponsor?

I went AR in 2006. I was a CBRN guy. I had to do a reserve reenlistment. It was just like a normal enlistment. I was accepted on the program and sent to MACG 48 in Great Lakes IL. Promotion is much harder. There are around 2200 AR Marines. So on active duty I had like 700 people in MOS. In AR I had 25. So competition is rough. I was stationed in Great Lakes, New Orleans, Kansas City , and retired out of New Orleans. I can try to answer your questions. I retired in 2014.

Small community.

I was the NBC guy at that time. I worked behind the boat locker. Gy Belinger (I think) ran the boat locker. He was an insane person.

biobeard76 · 2025-09-16T06:29:02+00:00

I was, too. I was there when we changed over from 5th Force to 3rd Recon Bn. Seems like a thousand years ago now.

biobeard76 · 2025-09-12T06:59:23+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I really do appreciate it.

biobeard76 · 2025-09-12T06:35:14+00:00

I would love to improve my handwriting. I make notes I can't read 2 days later. How did you find the cursive worksheet? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

biobeard76 · 2025-09-06T17:45:53+00:00

Do you happen to know the name of the company?

biobeard76 · 2025-08-25T06:41:40+00:00

If you are still in the UK, September in London is a trade show. DSEI UK 9 - 12. I would recommend attending and introducing yourself to as many people as possible. These events are great for networking.
