It's a fun assignment. Operational Security and Communication Security are certainly top on the list.

I am an Air Force 2A373 guy, or Tactical Aircraft Maintainer in layman's terms. I have 13.5 years of experience turning wrenches on F15s and this interesting 1 year of experience on the U2 Recon plane. It has been interesting and I have had some experiences that I will never forget. The majority of which most people will only ever see in movies.

TBH, I am seriously looking forward to having a "regular person job" in 5.5 years.

I am seriously jealous. Beyond snakes, aircraft (reading about them, learning about them, drawing them, getting my pilot's liscence, etc) are my hobby.

I manage the Quality Assurance Department for a company called Defender Direct. We are the #1 dealers of ADT Security Systems and Dish Network in the nation. I get to make sure that all the sales reps, CS reps, anyone that talks on the phone, is doing what they're supposed to be doing. Basically, I'm the most hated person here... but, I don't care. I love my team. Great group of people, and this company also seems to be pretty recession proof. We were at 12% profit last year and are looking at hitting over 15% this year... and we just picked up another business partner. Some good stuff.
