Seriously! You need to take that new slimmer you for a few days of F&R&F&R (fishing & resting & fishing & relaxing). You've earned it!!!:cheers:
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

What's your MOS? I am not active duty, just a "nasty girl"...at least not until August, anyways...I am a 19D. Started off a dismount, went to sniper school before I deployed about five years ago, became a bradley gunner for a while, and now that were deploying again I'm now a truck commander. Been in for 6 years...and just started my second enlistment.

Yeah...I figured that out a while ago. Being NG, I don't rely on it like active duty does, however a bit more fat in the wallet would be a nice side effect.

I don't care too much about the money, the job is relatively exciting and the people I meet are a good bunch.

Thanks for your service! :salut:

i work as a laborer for a contractor that does petroleum pipeline integrity/inspection and repair. i work 70 hours a week for six months, then fish 70 hours a week for six months, then back to work..:rambo:

it's kinda funny....every time i seem to order new boots, tools, or carhartts at work the price of gas goes up...:scratch:
I have caught many fish in my life. The most exciting? The next one.....

First of all I'd just like to thank all the vetrans and active duty guys on here. You are true heroes, and thanks for helpling make this the best country in the world.

As many of you might know by reading my pitiful post in the off topic.....I'm a realtor. Been one for 2 yrs now, I was in home mortgage before that. So I'm around the computer quite a bit as well, I keep WL.com in one of my browsers, I like to read the reports, and forum discussions when I'm eating my lunch or just taking a littel mental break from the day. Being a realtor means I have my own hours, but it's a sticky situation; I could easily spend to much time fishing and not make enough money....so I need to discipline myself to one trip a week......that's tough on a nice day since we don't get too many.
I also work part time at Nordstrom selling men's shoes! I have four boys and my wife doesn't work....well, outside the home anyways.........

Anyone looking to buy or sell? Do you need to refinance your home? Contact me! rgroves@johnlscott.com

nope i work the grave yard shift as well. 12-8:30 AM its a sucky shift lol but it pays more and i get lots of internet time lol. i also get to fish alot during the days which makes it pretty good.

i work for a conference company called LINK. a crappy job that pays decent, and my break is over haha time to get back to work.
I'm on night shift for 2 to 4 months of the year, usually in the summer time. Hours vary, I believe this year it'll be 11:00 to 7:00 AM. We should fish on Washington after work one of these nights, I'm moving to New Castle next week.

I've been a welder/ metal fabricator for 14 years. I work full time building aluminum boats and run my own metal fabrication shop at home in the evenings and weekends. Kinda ironic, my fishing boat is made of wood. :-k
