The History Kid Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 First week is in the bag. I'm in love with this job already. You know it's true when you can go to work in a good mood and leave in an awesome mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy what I do but if you do something long enough eventually you'll have days that really suck. If you're fortunate though, there won't be many.

It's just whether or not you enjoy the job enough for your passion to override the drive to leave - at least that's what I was always told.

The History Kid Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 8 minutes ago, BigStewMan said: very happy for you. I'll highlight the things I've been having to get used to: Competent co-workers. No "SFA" (****-from-above, as we called it in retail) A pay check with actual money. Actual benefits. Money left over after aforementioned benefits because of aforementioned actual money. 3 of my co-workers are retired military, and I interact with currently active military on a daily basis. Case in point today, I spent probably a good hour talking with one of the Staff Sergeants. Some of his stories...wow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they have any of the archives RE: the proving grounds at Hope. Thanks! There are tons and tons of archives, and we just inherited a bunch more from one of the other commands. What I've been trying to look into recently was the Savannah Proving Ground - since it's so close to home. I kinda want to take a trip up there just to see what's left since it was abandoned.

Hopefully that means that if my nose was clean in my past (background check) that I'm in. Oh, I really hope they don't find those bodies that Mark ( @ZEUS121996 ) had me hide... @The History Kid You DID put the 50 pound bag of lime on each one didn't you?
