    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    Blue collar at the time being- Do backhoe work, land clearing and maintenance, among other stuff but this is gonna change as im going to college to be a mechanical engineer, that's probably gonna be white collar..... wait, uh yeah. sittin on a computer doing CAD drawings all day probably, but i'd like to stay somewhat blue. The money is typically in the white collar jobs though so i guess i gotta go where i can make money.:(:eek:
