15 years this week.
Couldn't be happier working for the company I am with, has been really cool seeing it grow over the years and the evolution's of the industry.
Boss even left me a handle of Buffalo Trace on my desk when I came in.
So I have that going for me, which is nice.

I'm on year 26.

Over 30 if you include the years I was an undergrad and not a FTE.

1 year & 15 days. So far so good, but it's a client consulting position that ends in December - no matter what. 18 months on and forced 6 months off. So I'm nervous because of Covid + Economy. I won't necessarily be out of a "job" per se with my consulting agency, I'd just need to go to another client during that 6 months. Covid makes everything so much harder. Please wear masks people!

It's been a tough career decade for me for many reasons - some my fault, but most decidedly not. I'm on my 7th stop since 2011. That is sooooo much pain, suffering and expense to endure - that I'm beyond sick of it. In the end, I'll never recover financially for the rest of my career, unless I get extremely lucky and land the really big gig.

But on the bright side, I'm more marketable & have more diverse + deep experience than anyone else in my field, so I have going for me, which is nice.

Great thread War-Paint. Not.

Right. I like it.

Hey Arvid - be sure to add that to his next Plenty of Fish profile!

We got your back, Nick!

Current gig, 5+ years...cloud computing software company.

Before that, 8 years for a wireless telco.

Before that, 6 years at a software company.

My longest stint was 17 years at the old telco. (GTE > Verizon). Yikes.

Must be time to retire.

FIFY!

I am just under 2 years. Its a job. Some days suck some days fine. I dont expect to have fun and get paid.

More people need to have that attitude. I'm 45 and entirely sick of the younger "passion and follow my dreams" crowd. Only a very, very few people get to do what they love and make a comfortable living from it. Most of us just need to work for the money and "passion" plays no part in that. Sure, it would be wonderful to do what you love, but it's not readily realistic in today's world. More power to those that are livin' the dream. No hate....go on and get yours!

Current job/company, about 10 months now...current career path, a few months shy of 3 years.

I took a pay cut to take an entry level job in a new career three years ago, and managed to skip right thru all eight or ten years of the standard promotion tracks and go straight to portfolio manager in two years...that's the job I started 10 months ago when I got hired away by the person who encouraged me to take the entry level job at the first company.

Turns out to be a pretty good career move to take that entry level job three years ago, and while I knew I wouldn't take the usual eight or ten years to get to this spot, I didn't figure it would take 23 months, that's for sure.

Fish on...

Todd

Six years this month - happens to be the longest stint of my career and twice the money of any other gig and growing. Lead business developer for one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the region. When I started revenue was @ ~$4M with 18 people and now we're @ $70M with 350 people. I've had some great jobs most of which have lasted between 3 - 5 years and working with awesome clients in advertising, marketing and product development both digital and hardware. This current job - which I'll probably ride on into retirement combines all of my past experience while continuing to challenge me to grow my knowledge in consulting my clients. Very rewarding to be able to be on the leading edge of technology and bring solutions to clients that transforms their business. No project or client is the same and I get to work with everyone from back of napkin startups to Fortune 50 tier corporations.

Kudos Todd for the successful career switch - not that easy to pull off!

4 years, 4 months, 2 weeks. But who's counting? I'm retired, and the "job" suits me better than I expected. I did take a significant pay cut, but it hasn't affected my standard of living since all the money I wasn't living on went to taxes or into retirement, insurance, and other stuff. I'm the antithesis of Nick's follow your dream pitch. Not that I followed any dream, but I stumbled my way into a field that I really enjoyed, enough so that it didn't usually feel like work. It wasn't far different from what I would have done (and continue to do) if I didn't have to work for a living.

Less than a month for me. I like it so far. Less stress and I don’t work as hard. Previously I was in my agency for 8 years and promoted up into management for the final year and a half. I likely would have stayed longer but being subjected to a pretty sloppy merge with forced new policies, protocols, and less efficiency did not sound appealing to me. I gave my two cents in what needed to happen to make the merge successful, but it largely fell on deaf ears. My new director had little idea of what it was that I actually did and had no knowledge of one contract. She didn’t know what she didn’t know sort of thing... once I put my notice in they certainly were okay with the door hitting me on the way out and didn’t ask why I was leaving and didn’t seem to care. I got the last laugh since they fumbled on that one contract and took quite a financial hit once I left.

Good thing is I was able to milk working from home for the beginning of the stay at home order before taking two months off for the remainder of the time. Kind of good timing since I got to spend a bunch of time with the little one who stayed home and couldn’t be in pre-school.

33 1/2 years. Add on 1/2 year while I was working as a summer engineering student. Doing 40% telework now. Trying for my high 3 years of pay and retirement coming up soon. I've been filling in a supervisory capacity but missed out on the permanent position to a fishing buddy I've worked with on and off during that time.

12 years at current job; 17 years in same IT career. I like the work most days, but I do wonder from time to time how the hell I'm going to stay engaged for another 18+ years. I will say I feel blessed to have a job that lets me work from home in the present age....

So, finding the right job.

I didn't really like what I was doing, and had started before even getting out of high school, but it paid off.

The early years of composites wasn't fun, but for the last 25 years I've worked from home and on my own schedule.

At times my territory has been just the northwest, and at other times its been global.

I can pretty much travel anywhere in my territory at any time I want without needing an approval.

Everything is paid for and I have a company car.

And for the most part, I really enjoy it, and have no plans of retiring anytime soon.

The problem is there are only a dozen or so jobs just like mine globally, so if you get canned, you may not get another one.

I was able to back out of the global travel last year before the current travel restrictions. I got tired of being gone for a few weeks, then exhausted for days after returning.

I always tried to know more than anyone else, and always make your boss look good.

Plus, find the job that pays the most, with the least amount of responsibilities. Anybody can collect responsibilities in the workplace and not get paid for it.

This requires a certain amount of under performing on purpose to not be promoted to a position with more responsibilities and headaches.

What job ?

20 years this Friday, and I worked for the same company for 6 years on the first tour.

Going on 10yrs owning a small construction/commercial maintenance business. Just me and a couple employees. I enjoy my job and the area I live in.


Sober and out of Moms basement going on 20 years....

Evo? Is that you?

See? That's the way you do it. Who the hell wants to be the boss when you can be a happy worker bee making almost as much?

I’m a mapping fag so I’m very happy at where I am at. Working on two years. Made a lot more money at other jobs but I actually enjoy GIS.

Do what makes you happy because work is half of your life.

da fook

Here's my philosophy about work and the advice I gave to my sons when they asked what to major in.

Choose something you love to do and can make a living at...or, choose something you can tolerate and make a shitton of money at and at 4:30pm you can commence bodacious happiness.

Far too many people get themselves locked into a job they hate for barely adequate money.

Most jobs aren't bad, but the boss can make even a great job he!!

I have been a licensed contractor for 8 years and have been in the trades for 25,my particular trade for almost 20. I like what I do enough when things are good,and want to light [Bleeeeep!] on fire when it's not. I like the freedom it affords me, and I make decent enough money to tell people what to do. Works for me . I'm 47 and if I could retire tomorrow I would. Other than money,work is overrated.

+1

I make just about as much money now in my new job (roughly $.50 an hour less) and don’t have near the responsibilities, headaches or stress. One of the best moves I’ve ever made.

Right there with you. We only get one go around on this big blue marble and spending 1/3 of it at work blows.

FU Money.

NSFW

BTW - I must congratulate War Paint on his finding of the topical holy grail that should prevent Evo from posting. Kryptonite has been discovered.

But as with all things Evo, I'm sure he'll be here soon enough to find something retarded to argue about.

Evojuice!
Evojuice!
Evojuice!

Why would an auto, tackle, gun, and diamond syndicate care wtf you have to say? Check your blindside, evo’s a coming.

I`ll toss in my 37 years 2 weeks of heave ho kryptonite.

I pretty much retired at 37 years old. Now I just build stuff when I want to, cut my own trees or salvage logs and saw lumber and sell some sometimes, make custom furniture/art. Carve with my chainsaw and get paid for it. Build carports, woodsheds, small houses off grid and stuff like that. When I get tired of something I stop for a while till I want to do it again.

Fished Sekiu yesterday, launched at 4:30, it was on fire till daylight then dead, we landed 3 fish and lost a bunch, biggest was 10 pounds and all were wild. Saw no keepers being netted but lots of fish released.

We were off the water by 8am, guy we brought started chumming and we had to take him in, bite was over anyways. Were gonna fish PA but rough and foggy so we bagged it.

As a guy who was paid to investigate illegal logging and other opperations like illegal building on public and conservation lands throughout the Skagit Basin, I can tell you that this all sounds very illegal.

Like Salmo I have worked at retired for 10 years now. That allowed us (we retired the same day) to travel, garden, take care of sick relatives, and relax. Still do some volunteer/consultation/writing as the spirit moves me. Looking back, I find that the 34 years playing with fish was interesting.

If you remember back to college, you took prerequisites before you got into the meaty courses. I couldn't understand why I took some of the stuff required for my major. But, as I progressed through a career all those threads finally wove themselves into whole cloth. I needed chem and genetics, finally. Never did need calculus, though. Is there some new job in my future where I will need that?

Nothing illegal about it, private property, wood products off of private land. Buildings on private land. You transport Cedar or maple in certain sizes for commercial sale you need a permit, so when you need a permit you purchase one.

Building off grid, well I only do that on property outright owned and for cash, no permits required since they are optional anyways and if you are not dealing with a bank not necessary. How do you get around health codes? Pit toilets are legal and unregulated, most counties have "zoned" them out saying there are no suitable locations for them in their jurisdiction but they don't have jurisdiction over them anyways. Pit toilet is the most environmentally safe method to process human waste and its the cheapest and most simple application. You cant do better than a pit toilet when it comes to the environment, unless you put the pit toilet in a location where the water table rises above the hole, in that case you have an environmental hazard but only when the water rises.

You can do what you want on your own land, you have to invite trouble if you want it.

Truth is human waste is not really dangerous, I mean you don't really want to drink or eat it but generally its not going to hurt you. Society in this country has been conditioned to fear it so it can be used as a tool of control and land management of private property.


Is a hazard placard required when hauling human waste? Nope..

What happens when there is a spill, or someone opens up their holding tank while they drive down the road? It happens more than you think, I have been to that "call" a dozen times or so as a cop. No HAZMAT crew shows up, the cops don't put up hazard tape.. No why? because its not harmful..

UV light kills 97% of the pathogens on contact, the other 3% are purified once they travel through 12 cubic inches of soil. You could literally pour your sewer pipe out into your backyard onto the grass in a 4x4 fenced square, it would stink but it would not be a hazard unless the water table rose above the surface.

Hey Rich,eat sh!t hahahah!

Yeah, that's what you told your family just before you nearly poisoned them with bad mushrooms.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that.

Too Faa King long today!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw this chit.

I'm going fishing right NOW!!!!!!!!!!

November will be 42 years, 1.5 years to retirement.

Dang! Congrats on that achievement!

Dang....! competition and I thought I would have this one. Nicely done, Bent Rod.

40 years, 3 months, 11 days, 5 hours and 16 minutes as of now, same door of the same building every day, every day...every day.

I figure I have another 5 years or thereabout's in me, but I'll be too young to retire...maybe I join the fishing guide army next, chickenrancher? Gigalo? Moderator?

Hell, maybe I have ten more years, still like work, good at it, making money and the kids these days can't keep up.

That ain't workin'.. that's the way we do it.

Will be 34 years for me in October.
My plan original plan was to hang it up in Feb of 2022, so 19 months from now.
Boss has been asking what it would take to stick it out longer.
That would have to be every Friday off and only go into the office a couple days a week if that. I’m digging this working from home routine and drinking beer with lunch everyday.

If he agrees to that, I’d only be working half the year goes as far as number of days worked when I factor in vacation, sick days, holidays and such.
Might be worth it just for the medical insurance until I hit 65.
Still up in the air as you can’t buy more time.....
SF

You've got more stamina than I to drink a beer at noon. I used to be able to pull that off but no longer...unless it's an ass cold day on the river then the beer doesn't clobber me.

If I manage to retire in the next 3 or 4 years, I will still probably pick up a 3 month contract each year to supplement my 401ks etc.

I found that drinking beer at 6 in the morning was taking it's toll on me,so I just kept drinking round the clock. This Friday it will have been 25 years since I had one of those.

Careful.....stray from the work topic too far and you'll open the door for an evo assault.

Nobody wants that, clean threads are rare around these parts.

Evo may know something about drinking at noon.

One ice cold beer with a sandwich or whatever I’m having for lunch hits the mark for me. Very refreshing.......
I’ve also walked over 350 miles since I’ve been working from home so the carbs aren’t killing my weight .
SF

im about to kill it.

16 years this week!

Congrats!

I start a new gig at the beginning of September. It's a good'un and should be a LOT of fun! Finally leaving the consulting world behind. YAY ME!

Same line of work Nick?

Congrats!

I’ve been working here around our home for the last 10 years , at the most time consuming, busy -est and most satisfying time of my life,

Retirement !

This , after about 30 years as an Engineering Computing IT mgr at Boeing.

Although my wife and I retired a few years early and at the same time, if we had to do it all over again ?

We’e both have retired earlier. Life is short, make it sweet.......

Lol

Well...sort of. I'm currently an IT / PM / Engineering / M&A / do-it-all consultant and my client is hiring me on full time in a sr. mgmt position in an area that I've never directly managed before, but know a lot about. So...sort of. BUT....I'll no longer be a feast or famine consultant and get to play FTE. Which is huge when you are planning a family at my age. I need consistency and dependability more than anything. The killer bump in pay and vaca never hurts either.

Life is really, really good these days. I've been through a lot in my past, so I have to remind myself to enjoy the good times and to stop looking over my shoulder for the bad times.

Stoked for ya

Awesome! Glad life is turning around for you. I don’t envy being management though lol.

Little shy of two years on my current gig...I like it, and plan on sticking here for a good long while. I manage the Downtown Seattle portfolio for a mid-sized commercial real estate company, including a handful of historic 100+ year old buildings in Pioneer Square and the Central Business District. Sitting in one of them now

Fish on...

Todd

I guess that means I'm now 27+

I'm an IT Director for a large environmental college at a University in the State of Washington.

I am not on a pension plan....although I have maxed my contribution to a match 401K for the last 27+ years.

Looking forward to retiring. In 13 years or so.

Glad you finally found your way. Keep it up Tiger!
Tough to start a career at 50!

It's amazing how far you get your head up your fat ass, little man.

Fish on...

Todd

22 years tomorrow plus 6 years before that. Started at the bottom, now managing 125 employees.

Somebody’s gotta dig trenches. Congrats!

Sore spot with toad....

Bless your heart tough guy!

I can understand why I'm triggering for you...I'm everything you're not.

Tall, good looking, smart, educated, good job...those can be tough for little fat guys who think they are tough guys.

Fish on...

Todd

Readin through this thread, its great to see some of your responses, but its also great to see who hasnt responded. Talking about jobs seems to keep certain DS riff Raff off your post! hmmm.... I guess one could use the strategy of putting the word jobs in the subject line, then talk about whatever you want as a prevention technique...no? :lol:

25 years for me this September. Been a good ride most the way.

Oh, oh !

Now we’ve gone from mocking/questioning wit or intelligence to physical fitness and “Toughness” .

A sure sign of bloody fingers and a really big, major key board fight to come !

We really do miss the old face to face discussions, maybe at some crowded boat launch somewhere, as it coulda been interesting to watch this kinda shrit go down in person. Like it did prior to hiding under the keyboards

Yawwwn, I guess it really is time to get the skiff ready for salmon fishing tomorrow..........

Something tells me that Quimber would be talking out his ass, in any event.

Fish on...

Todd

It's like kryptonite to our resident lazy deadbeat.

actually, its because most of you are too fvckin stupid to remember what i said...

super lazy, super broke, cant vote, cant own guns, cant cant cant..

whos the dumfvck again?

oddly enough, how are all of you posting on the internet at your job?

i mean i can get away with it, but how do you?

you ever pulled that sh!t with my dad or any other supe ive worked with, you would have been fired on the spot, not questions or whaaa whaas allowed...

This one is headed to 5 stars!

nah, not gonna happen...

i was being polite, and letting everyone discuss what they wanted...

until someone had to open their fvckin mouth as usual...

maybe dont, and i wont...

THATS how you keep me from responding, unless its something that interests me, then, i will...

anyways, have fun, and remember what i said...

F#ck off fat tits

keep talking Tyler...

dont throw your back out again..

If you had a job you would know that many employers nowadays allow us to do what we want as long as we get our work done.

Also, no one mentioned your name just before you started whining today. You just assumed "lazy deadbeat" was you.

Nice self-own.

Michaeljacksoneatingpopcorn.gif

your employer allows you to call people names and bully people on the internet all day?

you sure about that?

wanna test that theory?


keep flappin your gums, or, just shut the fvck up and get back to what you were doing, its really that easy...

but apparently, you are too fvckin STUPID to realize that...

even after i told you...

No one cares what we do on our own computers.

You come on here looking for a fight or an argument, and when you get a reply, you whine like a whiney bitch and threaten people.

If you had a sense of humor, you could've just laughed off your self-own.

But no, you get upset.

not upset in the slightest..

if you were smart enough, you would have shut up a long time ago...

i also havent said a word since yesterday, yet ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

so your theory of "me coming here to start a fight", is bullsh!t, just like your entire existance...

i offered to give Nick a box of bullets for free, must be starting a fight...

ive given people sh!t for free, must be starting a fight...

ive offered to spend my money on ammo for people that still talk sh!t, because im a nice person, and because its tought to find right now, must be starting a fight...

all you do is talk sh!t to people all day and call people names, yet im the one that starts fights...

maybe you should just stop talking for once..

or dont, just remember what i said, either way, i dont care...

not a chance chicken legs...

remember what i said...

No one gives two flaming sh%ts about what you have to say fat f&ck

This thread is about employment, makes sense you have literally nothing to contribute but your slimy vag posts as usual

so basically you didnt pay attention to what i have said...

not surprised, you dont pay attention to anything really, but all the attention you can get posting on multiple forums on the internet, because you are a lonely fvckin abscess of a human...

i kept my mouth shut for a year, so your little bitch feelings wouldnt be hurt, and then you had to open your mouth...

heres a hint, shut the fvckin thing and you might get back to your ego stroking attention seeking whore ass post...

or dont, i dont care..

remember what i said...

actually, that will be really tough for you to do, you probably cant even remember to put your pants on in the morning...

so do as you wish...

REEEEEEVo thinks he is always right and always getting bullied, yet he pretty much only comes to the DS when he gets banned on Facebook…

and you sh!t a lot, because you said you only post on here while taking a sh!t...

you need to see a doctor? i can have Katie get you hooked up with a good gastroenterologist if need be...


here are your choices, play nice, ill play nice...

if you cant play nice, keep my name out of your fvckin posts, and i shall do the same...

or dont, i really dont care...

remember what i said...

tldr

LOL

yeah, because you have the brain capacity of a corn flake...

thats another problem you have, you dont fvckin read, or your reading comprehension skills are that of a sea cucumber, which isnt surprising in the slightest...

Fixed it for you.

There's a difference between arrogant and confident, it would behoove you to decipher the difference betwixt the two....

Someone that finally has a decent job at 50, isn't the most bragworthy about education. Apparently it hasn't helped you until, now....

Nice try though tiger!

Thank you for giving me “choices” REEEVo. Lol.

You sound like a very smooth brained dimwit trying to sound clever, and failing miserably.

You also continue to be wrong, factually, so whatever campfire stories you heard, you may want to re-think them.

Fish on...

Lil'Stick working on his BigStick schtick...

....never not funny.

It was barely funny when Big Stick did it...it's hilarious when someone else tries, but not in the way they think it is.

Fish on...

Todd

You sound like someone that, finally lands a job and now wants to tell everyone how special he/she is.

Until you started to be an arrogant fuk about being a big shot, I never had an issue other than political differences.

Now your just an arrogant fuk that acts like he's better than others...

I don't listen to campfire stories, I make my own assumption by the action of people...

Congrats tiger, you're 'winning'!

Evo seems upset.

Again.

lol

This is my favorite post I have read in while.
LOL

What we call a self own, REEVo calls being bullied.

Reminds me of this bitch a$$ in 5th grade. He always felt like everyone was messing with him extra hard but it wasn’t any worse for him than anyone else. His fee fees and whining definitely made it worse; like REEEVo.

For a couple months he went around pantsing the other kids and he thought he was justly doing so, as if the world was against him and embarrassing all the other kids was totally justified. Nobody ever told on him because we were all [Bleeeeep!] with each other but he seemed especially interested in embarrassing people by revealing their genitals because it was the worst thing he could do without physical harm in his mind. Beware of these bitch types and their fee fees, they will go nuclear if they feel justified. This is called moral licensing BTW, and it pretty much is it’s own pandemic nowadays.

Anyway, the kid had pantsed a bunch of us including me, and so I see a perfect moment and pants him in front of a bunch of girls as pay back. First thing this little bitch did was run to the recess lady and the upper offices to tell on me. His mom is soon involved and she wants to sue (she tried to sue or threatened to sue nearly everybody; was that type).

So what happened to me? Absolutely nothing because everyone knew that little kid was a bitch ass on a hell bender using whatever little thing as an excuse to do whatever he wanted. They knew he had pantsed a bunch of kids. Nowadays these types are enabled even more and are even worse; case in point REEVo and his fee fees.

REEVo’s fee fees are clearly powerful and wet like a hurricane and he can’t control them, so he needs to use them as a reason to hate on people.

So does Evo's big brother.

Quimber, you've always been a clown, and you'll always be a clown.

Not sure what it is that ever made you feel differently, but you should re-think that, too, along with your made up facts.

Fish on...

Todd

Man Quimber really gets you guys rattled. Pretty entertaining.


-Steamy

You can tell how long Quimb' has been at a job by when peoples [Bleeeeep!] started disappearing.

Yeah, just like we're "jealous of Evo".

Your connection with reality is getting more and more tenuous...you should re-evaluate whether or not sounding more like Evo every day is a good thing.

Fish on...

Todd

Every time Quimber posts you guys take the bait.

Every. Single. Time.



-Steamy

Thing is...it's not bait. It's Quimber.

I promise that making fun of Quimber being a caricature of who he thinks he is, and making fun of Evo for being a deadbeat and an imbecile, is not "taking the bait", just like pointing out that you sound more and more like Evo every day is not "being owned"...

Hopefully this helps.

Fish on...

Todd

It's that matter of right and wrong... One can admit it, the other can't no matter the argument.

Keith

Don't try to make yourself sound like you're some kind of elite discerning fish that will only rise to a perfectly presented dry fly.

Illahee and Dan and pretty much anyone else that has tossed one out has landed you on some stinky baits enough times that your observation sounds silly.

Welcher...........err, Steamer..........is a garbage fish. I've seen pellet head planter trout that are more selective.

Just say something insulting about lardass Trump, and pellethead will swim along in short order to bite.

Then he'll tell you about the free rent he's getting.

lmao

What a fuckin' knob.

Now we know why tigers eat their young.

Some live a life of denial and love to tell others how great they are....

Perception to the little runt must mean something!

Find a post I've made that I try to brag myself up.... NONE!

It's all in the nature of those that have inferiority issues....

Book it!

Just love Timber. Arguing with people who aren't like you seems silly. We are all different.

It’s okay Danny. The darkside is used to your whining. Why so angry brah?

-Steamy

Being employed for 16 years at the same job while moving up the ladder is now considered bragging and ego stroking.


LOL at unemployed (fat) loser that can't get out of their own way in life

Paying taxes is a privilege.

About time you pups left the nipple.

Why do Republicans think this country runs on free?

That's not milk on your lips is it?

It seems like those with the least to complain about do the most complaining.

Wonder why that is?

When I was little my dad would say, if you're going to cry....I'll give you something to cry about.

Where do you draw that parallel from?

Is this going full circle back to your free cheese concerns?

Keith

I haven’t met many Republicans that think that. Most that I have encountered believe the role of government should be limited and that spending needs to be addressed. Address spending issues and your need for funding goes down.

It isn’t hard to understand but I’m sure you struggle with it. Let
Me know if you need me to give a kiddo explanation of the concept to you.


-Steamy

Maybe in 1970...since then Republicans spend like drunken sailors, pass out unfunded tax cuts like Halloween candy to the rich, and then complain about the deficit every time a Democrat is elected.

Fish on...

Todd

As wd-40 once said, political pursuits.

The Tea Baggers sure acted like taxes were suddenly a new thing that served no purpose.

I always wanted to ask one of them how much they thought these fuckin things cost.

Hey that's my old job.
It cost around $2.5 million a day to operate a carrier.
That number would be significantly higher in a combat zone.

Please make a battleship only thread.

I was an airdale not a jarhead.

Same job, different aircraft.

Getting back (sort of) to the original topic. I have been retired since January 2, 2019. It's a great job!!!!

Lucky!

You happen to know Sly Pig?

Which rank? Brown shoe or Black shoe?

Keith

I used to know a 142nd Fighter Wing fighter pilot or maybe he was a WSO, who's handle was Sly Pig.

Isn’t sly pig a mod here?

The Sly Pig I new was the Oregon Air Guard Brigadier General.

Went on to fly for United?

Keith

Not sure where he ended up.
Great guy, superior aircrew.

It's got to be the same guy with the handle. Good friend of mine through the years of life, very inspirational and kind human being!

I was very proud to serve with him.

The unit I was talking about before was 4450th tactical developing the f-117a stealth
