Are you currently working, going to school, retired, disabled, or other?
What was/is your occupation?
I was a pipefitter/ welder for for over 30 years before becoming disabled to a rare bone disease. I was also in the ARMY Reserve for (8) years.

I have my own HVACR business. I do a lot of maintenance and repair and some installations. I've been in business by myself for a little over a year, before that I worked for my father's company after I was active duty Air Force. He retired and I took over a few of his contracts.

While I was working for my dad I also went to school to expand upon my HVACR... Figured I might as well use some of the GI bill.

I'm also a Staff Sergeant in the USAF Reserve and am a C-5 Loadmaster.

Bill of Materials manager for my company.

Oversee 7 employees.

Currently transitioning from an old, outdated system to a new, more complex system (parts, codes, attributes.......fun stuff :rolleyes:)

Our department motto is:
"What?......Why?"
 
After I quit being a full time road musician I kicked around the
parts departments of various auto dealers in Tulsa & Oklahoma City. Then about two years ago my health took a real turn & my
life became a LOT more interesting...So now, I'm disabled, retired, or both I guess. I get around a lot better than when I
got out of the hospital, so its not all bad. I don't miss the car
business, but I sure miss a lot of my friends from the business!
:cool::D
 
Self employed since I was 20 years old. (Am almost 48 now). Business provides Corporate Security, Armed Bodyguard and Private Investigation Services. The latter two I always provide personally.
Ever hear one of those studies that say stress will kill ya? I have proof that ain't true.....I have a pulse.:eek:
