Whats your occupation?

Well, lets see. For the first 18 years, I was a unit operator for a major oil company. For the next 18 years, I was a senior lab tech. for that same oil company's chemical division. Retired in '98. Since then I work at  what we all know to be a fascinating job "An exicutor of Honey Do Lists".

Hey Mustang

I'm a Chemical Mill and waste water operator in the aerospace field. Basically I work with the Titanium blades that are in jet engines, we also do a few auto and medical stuff too. My job involves the use of Hydrofluoric Acid and the proper disposal of it. There's some other chemicals and machinery involved that i operate too but that's the small explanation of it lol.

Hey mustang,

Great post!  I was in the Air Force for 21 years working avionics on F-15 and F-16's (the 15 is my baby!).  Retired 3 years ago and have been working for  NOAA/National Weather Service as an electronics tech.  This hobby helps get me away from all the tech stuff I do......but it doesn't keep me from wanting to light up or make some parts move on my models!

Man thats awesome. Service to the community too. Jack of all trades.....I'm afraid that those of us who can work with our hands are subject to handywork. Nice to meet you too.

I failed to mention that I used to be a Huey crewchief for 8-1/2 years active duty and in field artillery working on M109 self propelled howitzers for around 5 years in the Tx Army National Guard.

Hey Mustang 1989;

I'll have a go at it.  I 'm sort of a  jack of all trades so  the hands on thing comes naturally . However like you I worked in the automotive trade as a tech. went to school and all that  . Went back to college  to  earn a degree  toward another career ( several times) . Then changed headings again and acquired a career  in law enforcement / corrections. Which is were I stand today.

Who knew..

By the way nice to meet you.
