    I ended up on Switzerland trail on Wednesday to get a little taste of the mountains so I decided I should post some pics...

    Yea, I would definitely hold off until we hear the final situation from Jlee himself.. Sounds like PayPal is making him send out invoices, so he should invoice us when he's ready...

    The views are pretty awesome. It took longer than I thought it would because we got out and took pictures all the time.

    The trail is bumpy in spots. But, overall, it's a really relaxing drive. Even a bit boring towards the end. Lol

    I saw another Taco on the trail going the opposite way. It was lifted, BFG All Terrains, black Bull bar, and pretty sure it was a MGM DC. I was gonna stop but he had a bunch of passengers and I had the wifey. :rolleyes:

    Hey folks. Well I am not from Colorado, but want to be..... I am thinking that after I get back to the States and get out of the Army, I will be moving. I have always like Colorado, so I figure that is where I will try to go. Could anyone give me an idea of what the job market is like in different areas? Hopefully they are veteran friendly.
    I am lucky that I have a cousin in Denver who will put me up for a little bit as I find an apt to get into, but my problem is gonna be figuring my way around and getting a job. Man, it will feel weird to be a civilian again.... Anyways, if anyone can give me an idea of the job market in their areas (not stuck on Denver) it would be greatly appreciated.

    First off thank you for your service.

    I guess the question will be more of what skill sets you will be bringing with you. Like the rest of the country right now jobs are hard to come by in any state. Depending on what you are looking to do or where your experience is at will either help to get you a job quickly or make you have to settle for something else until a better job comes along.

    Welcome!

    Indeed. I've found certain industries cannot find the right people to fill the jobs - a lot of technical/engineer level positions. However, a lot of seasonal/retail places are flooded with applicants. So it really depends on where your experience is. My company is hiring if you have some voice administration experience (telco, call centers, etc).

    Well, most of my experience is in heavy equipment and transport. Have some in the mechanical field. I am honestly looking for something to help me as a stepping point to start out in CO. Half the searches I try to do are blocked by the network that the USO is using over here in Afghanistan.

    6 more days until I can eat some real food!! I vote "original house of pancakes" for breakfast the next morning. I've only been there once (last competition) and fell in love :)
