So I sand trucks down with an arsenal of tools, take smoke breaks, paint trucks down, take another smoke break, and chit chat with my colleagues. It's boring, very boring.

Before I did some work at a steel mill in South Carolina, did some highschool football coaching. Still young, thinking of going back to school.

I have a summer job as an umpire.

Kinda cool considering I wanted to volunteer for it, because I love softball/baseball so much.

It is really fun, except when you have a buddy from Church threatening to "rip your fucking teeth out" if you call him out again :unsure:

But, in a perfect world, I want to umpire the Majors. Anyone can do a better job than the clowns that actually do it.

I believe in unions, for factory and trade work. But that umpire's union did a major disservice to the sport.

That's another thing, despite the common perception of me as anti-Union by alot, I love my union that I work with. Some of the nicest people around.

But I do agree with that. I also don't like the MLBPA that much, either.

My school's janitor was related to the person who was the leader of that massive umpire strike that I believe you're referencing.

Depends, some interns get payed and some don't, so I don't know if you are getting money for your services to the business, but if you are then it would be considered a job.

I work as a Paraprofessional for my local school district. It's only part time, but the pay & hours are good.

If I submit an FOIA Request, what information can you tell us that you couldn't before. :p

For example what's your pay grade? As a Gunner's Mate, I believe that still falls under the E3 rating, correct? Is it still just a GM rating or being part of SOCs have you qualified for anything that has altered the rating?

Do you use the standard M4 Carbine/M16 rifle or are you allowed to select your own standard weapon or are you assigned a different one altogether like some of the other SFs?

Did you join the SWCC straight out after joining the U.S. Navy or introduced to it at a later date?

I would be more than happy to answer those questions if you would like but also every thing you just asked about was on my jobs website.

Aside from what I already posted, I have also considered the possibility of learning a construction trade like carpentry or welding, which would open up more employment opportunities. I have a little bit of experience with welding and woodworking, but no formal certifications.

You could try Bricklaying. Bricklayers in the UK are almost universally self employed (I cant say much for what's it like in the US) which means its very flexible working hours wise, there's a constant supply of work since, like, 90% of buildings in the UK are brick and its always challenging. You can never plan your day with Bricklaying.

Its also really nice getting to point out your achievements. God knows how many times we've driven somewhere and my dad has pointed out an estate he built.


I don't have a driver's license, but I could get one if I have to, and bricklaying sounds like more fun than an office job.

Good luck to everyone back in Babylon. Seriously, everything I've heard these days is just that it's getting worse and worse for those looking for work there. You're always welcome here though! Way more demand for native English speakers than we have available here, so... ^__^


I tried that in Shijiazhuang and Shanghai. Never lived in Beijing, but Shijiazhuang is close enough that I could visit Beijing regularly, and I love that part of China.

I might try it again if things don't work out for me in the States.
