Your Occupation Before the Navy

[usmarinemike]

Over 90 bank, hence the indication on the HSI...yep VP!

I'm certainly not questioning you, and I may be showing a degree of stupidity, but in the picture, the yoke is all the way left which would put the right wing to the sky. On the attitude indicator, the left wing appears to be to the sky. What gives? Are you just starting recovering in the picture or doing some crazy cross control knife edge stuff or something?

I sold cell phones when I graduated, made $50 k a year, but it sucked and I now work for a insurance company. ( just found out they will pay me the difference in my pay when im at ocs, which will give me more then the 01 pay) taking military leave to never come back is a great thing

I made jumbo-sized diapers for obese babies.

Nope - attitude indicator indicates a left >90 degree bank, same as the yoke. Look at the line separating grey (sky) and black (ground), and think of it as a miniature airplane.

Well, so what's the job title? I can't add it if you don't list it (of course, I can always make one up).

 

[Lawman]

Alright Ive been busy so heres the list

In chronological order.... Line Cook through most of HS and into College, LP/Home Theatre at Best Buy, Police, Private Security, Caribou Coffee, Electronics Specialist Target (title with no training), Mechanic, and presently a Car Salesmen (I am what every ex ever thought I was a blood sucking leach that cares about nobody but myself!).

Somewhere in there I found time to go to OCS twice and also get a bachelors degree (5.5 year program)

So why did MasterBates vote for Truck driver and commercial helo pilot, and NOT aeronautical engineer of helo persuasion. Thought that was him too...

 

[MasterBates]

Because I was better at the other two. And enjoyed them more. As you are aware of, Sikorsky SUCKS to work for.

You guys want me to list every single job I have ever had?

Snow Shoveler
Lawn Mower
Horse poop fertilizer delivery and application
Ren-Fair Parking lot jockey
Motocross Track corner flagger.
Cranberry bog weed-puller
Floater's assistant (floater = horse dentist)
Production TIG welder
Structural steel welder
Fab shop press operator
Self employed welder specializing in dump truck/trailer repairs
Truck driver
Truck Mechanic
Airport pump jockey
Agricultural Spray companies Gopher.
Comm Helo Pilot
CNC Machine Operator
Engineering intern for vibration analysis
Junior Mechanical Engineer (P&W, Sikorsky, Pollak)

As a note, a lot of these jobs overlapped, and I would work one when at school, and another when on my Co-Op term. Also worked weekends, and second jobs.

Yes, I had no life outside school and work.

And their engineers are arrogant :icon_tong

Today is my last day as a Consultant. But a beginning of more better things [hopefully] to come. Maybe I should go look for a part-time/sometimes full-time job as a Head Houseboy at a sorority in UCLA.

Seriously, that job is no joke....my older brother did that while he was at UW, and made very decent $$$ and (aside from being the "hired help") pulled plenty of hotties from the ranks of his house

I can only fit so many into the space allocated AND the original question posed was best job you had, not all the jobs, but the thread has morphed to that it seems.
