whats does everybody here do for work?

[rebelLT]

Other than the standard "as little as possible" answer I would be forced to say that I am a "law enforcement professional" That means I've been a cop long enough to know what I'm doing just not long enough to retire like I wish I could .

I've done a lot of jobs in my 25 years of being alive (I know I'm a young'n). Everything from swingin' hammers, to tours in Iraq, to pushin' papers, police work (MP), busted shoplifters for Wally world....After Iraq, they saw fit to make me a pilot. Now I fly one of these.

P.S. GREAT THREAD!!!

I am a research geophysicist for the US Army. I travel around the US and world looking for drug tunnels, assessing levees, and trying to improve the detection of landmines and unexploded ordnance in magnetic soils. I use a lot of really expensive metal detectors to look for UXO. I'm also currently working on my PhD in geophysics. I don't get to travel to as many exciting military bases and locations now that I am focusing more on the theoretical research and my PhD. I also try to raise my three kids well and have some fun hobbies.

Wow, that ties in nicely with the hobby!
I've heard rumors that the DOD is researching the effectiveness of dowsing.
Any thoughts on that?

I work at a small ship yard, building Coast Guard bouytenders, staten island ferrys, now working on shallow water LCS prottype ship for the Navy, am a welder but doing mostly QA work the last 3 years, theres a lot more satisfaction welding, than headbutting with idiot forman to get the job done right. you know what they say. never enough time to do it right the 1st time

I can relate to that headbutting, thompy, after retiring from the Navy I worked 20+ years as a QA Supervisor & Manager in automotive electrical systems.

Was Aviation Electrician in the Navy.

Now I don't do a heck of a lot.

Love to fly that P51, looks like a lot of fun, they still use them you know Sounds like your wife was a smart woman. We didn't have too much knowledge on how to utilize them at the time... Dangerous time to be a low flyer.
