I got laid off a while back and have had no luck finding work. I live in Indiana but my wife and I have been talking about relocating. Is there any jobs down south ( Georgia,Carolina,Virginia)? I've been a toolmaker for 10 years, I was a parttime cop for about 4. I grew up helping my dad with construction. I am kind of a jack of all master of none. LOL

in some places the market  istight. BUT wiht that background shouldnt be too hard. BUT id try toget something in place bfore i moved tho
if at all possible

Do they send you to the academy or do you have to pay and go on your own? Could you PM me their physical fitness requirements? Here for my age group.. 32.. I have to do 33 situps in 60 secconds... Im at about 20 

Whats the starting pay? Whats the area like? I may be down for a move

 
Here is a linky

Do you know CAD and CNC? If so Univ of Iowa is hiring...

http://jobs.uiowa.edu/merit/view/009132

It would be a closer move.

 I just checked out the Gastonia P.D. web site. I think I will give it a try and see what I can come up with. It dosn't hurt that you are just a hop skip and a jump from the dragon.

Yep

Let us know how it works for you.
We need more GSers here 

and there's always the military...not that Im tryin to recruit you, but it's an option, and 20 sit-ups is enough to get you started...and you only have to sign for 3 years....of course half of that might be in afghanistan....pfftt....n/m, doesn't sound so appealing when I say it like that....

That is why you join the air force or coast guard ! Unless you like to travel then you join the Navy! -- Jim

Tampa, FL :
Anchor Machine & Welding (small shop)
Detroit Tool and Die (small shop, nothing but precision work, you'll like this one the best)
Padgett Swann (small shop, BIG work, mostly prop shafts and ocean going vessel work (( not outside work )))

There are several shops here in Birmingham, AL that will hire you if you can answer teh standard BS questions at the door, just to have another talented guy in the shop

Mississippi is dead to manufacturing.
Georgia, I dunno.
If/when oil prices go up again, see Texas.

We're happy in Alabama the Beautiful for now. Good luck !

Carolina is dead for precision manufacturing. Nacreap lay off's ... heck I have Nascrap machinists making savage risers for me ... man they must be hating it. They're 2 miles from the lowes motor speedway too ... man that gotta burn. A jap wanna be cruiser ... not even a sport bike with a pretense of tech.
Cool.
Buddha.

What do you mean BOO NAVY? ! Hey we took care of those 3 bastards in a life raft the other day! Heck I thought they sould have used a MK48 ADCAP torpeado on their asses! Now that would have been a sight to see! My Sub launched a few of those back in the day, along with Tomahawk missils . What could a cop do in that situation besides throughing them a doughnut for a life ring! -- Jim 

Well ya know what the ARMY really is an acronym for right Aren't Really Men Yet!

Go NAVY! Navy Rotc four years then crapped out heart ugh

There are some hard core Navy pukes. Some that have been in places and positions that no one would envy.  Ever read 'Lone Survivor'?  That wasn't exactly a walk through an exotic port.  Marcus Lutrell  is a very lucky man in some ways and very unlucky in others.  (side note: anyone want to bet on how long the guys that killed his dog last in prison?)






Of Course...............We all know which branch had to be called in after the second extraction SEAL team was shot down...............




Army is always cleaning up the other guys' messes.

lol

this could be the official "My regional FOOTBALL team is better than your regional football team" thread in 3,2,1




















by comparing one instant in time to another








for no reason








and be re-hashed with much passion by fat guys that "USED TO PLAY BACK IN"







for infinity.

Yay futball. What a joke.
