DOD Contractor doing small arms repair for the Army. Pretty much the same as my active duty time for the army. also still in the reserves and working as a firefighter on ATLFD.
I was active duty USN for 10 years. I lucked out when I seperated from the nav and fell into a good job in the manufacturing world. I am on year 9 now, although I do miss the days of being on the flight deck. I started volunteering with the fire dept as a way to get some excitement back into my life. If it was not for the fire dept, I probably would have gone stir crazy several years ago. Making contact lenses is far more boring than fixing aircraft on the flight deck, or responding to calls in a fire engine, but it pays the bills. I consider myself lucky to have a fairly secure job that allows me to provide for my family.
I was a Combat Medic in the Air Force, now, vol firefighter/paramedic in the Philippines. I have a job interview as a FireFighter next week. I miss the Air Force haha
