I've been working for O'reilly Auto Parts for the last eight years with the last 5 as manager.

 

Union Ironworker. The cowboys in the sky

 

Engineer/programmer for CNC machines, not the choo-choo-choo kind. I design furniture and speakers. I also own a computer repair business. I also am a jack of all trades, mechanic, constructions, machine repair, know how to run any metal shop machine.

 

I currently work for The Defense Logistics Agency, the DoD agency that procures spare parts for the military. I'm a Product Specialist, a blend of Quality Assurance and Item Technical Manager. Prior to that I was an Air Reserve Technician, working avionics (radio, radar, GPS, ect.) ART positions are a blend of USAF Reserve and Civil Service. During the week we maintained aircraft in jeans and t-shirts, on the weekends we put on the uniform and taught the "traditional" Reservists. Prior to that I was an Active Duty Sensor System Specialist working SR-71's and RF-4C's, on reconnaissance systems (mapping radar, infra-red, cameras). I've always been a gearhead and do the vast majority of work on my 'lil Neon drag car.

Well, For the past 12 years I have been working for a large Computer/Software company servicing High End Servers (Software and Hardware), my customer being a large telco and for the past 6 years a large bank..

Prior to that, I was a bench tech working on Motorola two way radios for 7yrs.....and before that a heavy diesel mechanic for 3yrs.

Most of my time now is spent on work (a lot of 16+hr days), but I manage to get some wrench time in on the Dak when I can (when I am not working on my 240yr old house, that is!).

 

Student here. Althought I work full time as a shipping coordinator for Costa Farms. We sell all sort of plants throughtout the US and Canada. Retail.

 

Grew up in the country, raised by older parents who grew up just as the Great Depression was ending.

Went into the Air Force after High School for, got sent to Minot North Dakota for 3C0X1 duty as a Computer Systems Operator/Network Control Center Tech. In Minot as part of you base in-processing there is a required weather related class. In this class you learn that engine oil can freeze solid, along with just about every other fluid in your vehicle. This is where I really began to care about more than changing engine oil at regular intervals. Nothing quite like the coming -70*F winters to motivate some learning. Free Tip; if your windshield washer fluid freezes up on you in your winter climate, add a pint of rubbing alcohol to it. I really like this because sometimes the tank fluid may not freeze, but the fluid in your line freezes, the rubbing alcohol really helps with that. Of course it comes with a scent penalty, but that only lasts a a bit, after which you can see...

While there I met my now wife, the daughter of a former Marine and now retired Auto Mechanic. Needless to say, my car repair skills began to rapidly grow at this point.

Also, as part of keeping on on computer skills reading tech manuals is part of the job. So picking up a Haynes repair manual and following it is a pretty natural extension of that.

Now I work for a Utility doing computer tech support.
