    Yeah. Do a lot of programming, more than I ever thought I ever would. Young company, so I have to develop the tools I use. Math and programming.
    Rite Aid pharmacy got me though college. It's a hell of a lot better than just taking loans until the cows come home.

    Nuclear Thermal Control Technician.....fancy way of say Insulator :)

    Currently a "work leader" so im a stand in supervisor basically.

    We work for the DoN doing work on the Navy's subs and air craft carriers. We do all the work on the propulsion plants and for my job i specifically work on the nuclear components inside and outside of the reactors (mostly outside currently which im happy with).

    Basically half my job is actually getting to do my job (removing and installing insulation) and the other half is being a baby sitter to the rest of the people on my crew


    If the pay and benifits werent so good i would quit and move on. Currently thinking about doing that still though

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I'm currently a groundman for CEI Electrical Contractors, where I'll be in a month or two is anyone's guess. The workload is hit and miss right now because of winter but I stay pretty busy all summer. Save as much as I can so I can survive the slow winter season. But I love what I do, I want to get into an apprenticeship to become a lineman though, that is my ultimate goal. May have to temporarily move someplace warmer to get it done however, the way it works up here it would probably take me 8 years just to get it done and if I lived someplace where the work was steady I could get it done in 3 to 4 years. I need like 8000 hours on the job training and 300 something hours in the classroom to get my journeyman's certification.
