When I retired from the AF I went to work for a defense contractor in quality assurance. We finished a big project they called a bunch of us in told us what a great job we did and laid us off.
I went over to a buddy of mine's house to update my resume on his computer. He saw one of the things I did was operate a CMM and had taken a class in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing he had just done an interview with an automotive molding company looking for someone who could do that and had that training.
I went to see them, got the job that paid more than the defense contractor would ever dream of, and stayed there over 20 years till I decided to retire from work. Best job and boss on the planet.
Any way getting laid off was a blessing so have hope it ain't over till it's over.
