    I’m always curious what everyone does for a profession in these groups. It is always cool to see how diverse we are. I am a State Trooper and have been since 2007. Prior to that I worked many years in home construction and taught second grade right out of college.

                I joined the U.S Navy right out of high school in 1987, worked as an Aviation Boatswains Mate Handler ABH for short. I worked on the flight deck of U.S.S. ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) aircraft carrier for 6 years, got out of the service and went into heavy construction building bridges until 2001 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I have undergone 24 surgeries in 18 years time and I’m now 100% disabled, not because of the surgeries but the epilepsy. I now work when I can doing odd jobs to make extra money. I GO CRAZY IF I’M NOT PRODUCTIVE!!

                    @ndmike Retired teacher. I had more time to dive into my sausage-making hobby, and jumped into charcuterie as a fun way to eat well. I sub at a local Tech-Voc, often in baking and culinary courses. Learn some, teach some, have fun. In between those, I tinker with my boat and gadgets. Cheers, all, from Winnipeg.

                            Retired from the US Navy in 1997. Moved back to my hometown and owned a propane business. Served as Fire Chief until December 31st when I retired. Still maintain my EMT license but trying to cut down on number of calls. Great to see so much diversity on here. Glad I found Walton’s recently. Enjoy everyone’s comments/advice/recipes.

                                  @ndmike im an uneducated highschool drop out working as a maintenance technician at a semi trailer manufacturer. Dealing with 24-480 volts single and 3 phase, PLC, pneumatic and hydrualic tooling, 100TON-600TON presses, robotic welding systems as well as portable, epoxy primer and urethane electrostatic paint application systems and any other little stuff that comes up on a daily basis. Been there 27 years. Been in maintenance for 9 years. Started out painting and blasting, then when into production management but with the last slow period in 2007-2009 there were several that were let go and demoted. I was demoted back to paint and later promoted to maintenance…a definite win for me.

                                    wdaly i was on the local fire dept for 7 years, firefighter 1, 2 and MPO. As well as some other certifications. I miss it, life just got too busy having to have 2 jobs to make ends meet. I made the sacrifice to resign so someone else could give the time it takes for a position like that.
