I've been in the advertising biz for about 17 years on the creative side. About 18 months ago I started my own ad agency. It's been going pretty well.

PA Guy

I've been a Physician Assistant for 30 yrs and am now semi-retired.  I spent 20+ yrs with a large health services agency in SoCal, 18 yrs in a clinical role then moved into disaster planning.  Prior to my retirement I ran a MMRS program, http://www.fema.gov/mmrs/ ,for several yrs.

I now work part time as an instructor in a WMD/EMS program that is part of the  DHS/Natl. Domestic Preparedness Consortium.

Currently, my main job is working in the Logistics division of the nations largest privately owned construction company (3rd largest in overall domestic construction).  It's never dull, one day I'm working finances, the next I'm managing special projects and testing new IT software, the next I'm dispatching trucks, the next I'm working in purchasing.  Been there for almost 2 years.

On the side, I do BBQ catering during the summer season.  Been doing this for about 10 years now.

Previously I've also managed a higher-end beer & wine store for 3 years (back when CecilDP and I were in the same squadron), and have been a Starbucks Barista twice.

A coworker and myself are in charge of keeping all the phones, LAN and data to the desktops working for all the users in a 12 story office building.

"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

So were you a ATSF man or a Burlington Northern guy?  Or, did you come in after the merger?

I manage the "service" operations for a small company delivering toys.  Billiards tables, shuffleboard, darts, card tables, Spa's/hottubs, bars, etc.

I setup the service schedule's for 3 crews and occasionally run a crew of my own.

Of course I do all of this part-time.  I too am a full time CAP'er, and from time to time I allow my boss to tell me where to be.

I am active duty army.  I am an Electronics, Avionics and Weapon System and sub system Repairer on the AH-64 D Longbow Apache.  (thats the one with the spare tire on top.)  Such a long name for fixing wires, software issues and things that go boom.  I have aspirations of getting out and selling drugs and living under a bridge one day. ;D

Pumbaa

I am an engineer with Lockheed.. Electronic Defense Systems, Electronic Warfare.. As a matter of fact I support the APR-48 that is found on the Longbow.. That's the thing below the spare tire!  (FCR)  The APR-48 is known as a Radar Frequency interferometer, it works with the Fire Control Radar.  I am supposed to go to Kuwait to teach Apache pilots on it's functions.  Was supposed to go last year, but the Army is slow in approval I guess...
