Farmer from a long line of farmers

- Start date
Retired after 39 years on the railroad. Don't miss work, just the guys I used to work with. Busy doing all the things I should have done when I was working. Enjoying life and taking naps in the afternoon after doing morning chores around the house. Drinking too much k-cup coffee in the am, and not enough cold beer in the pm
Cool. I'm going back to school for CNC and Cad/Cam.
Part owner in an Firearms store and ammunition manufacturer.
depends on the industry I use to hire cnc operators starting at $12 an hour and they would max out at about $15. but that was in the stone fabrication industry. I do agree there is more and more demand for it
Im in St. Louis where aerospace and defense is pretty big.
If your good at it there is defiantly a career to be had. The machine is only as good as the operator. Machines aren't stupid just the people using them.
That's what I'm hearing a lot from machinists around here. I have the drive, motivation, and dedication to do it. I am done with "jobs", I want a career and CNC sounds like it will fit me well and will give me both a challenge and a sense of accomplishment both of which I need to keep me from burning out.
This is me:

I have a PHD that reads DD Form 214
I'm a crop duster too, but I don't have a plane..
Having a marketable skill is cool. A friend of mine said this once or twice. He's still right.
Heroes? Nah we just need you to pull the plug for us so we don't get fried and can save the day

Hard Luck!!!----or is it??? Hope you can find something else soon...
Outside Machinist/ millwright
For work...sometimes it seems like all I do is break shit. Hydraulic lines, driveshafts, shear pins, chains...yep...I break shit. I can't believe I still have a job after all these years, and keep getting raises too, and they like me. What the hell!?!
I talk to airplanes: biz jets, fighters, air carrier, private pilots it does not matter, I talk to them all. I saw several pilots on this thread, if you get to the Florida/ south Georgia area ask for BP if you talk to Jax Center.
Don't tell my Mother that I'm a pilot. She thinks I play piano in a whorehouse.
We go into KSSI (St. Simon Island-Brunswick) about once a month. JAX Center handles arrivals and departures in that area. I'll ask for ya' next time. Small country these days. For what it's worth, we're a DA-50, N398AC.
The latter doesn't sound bad to me. The schedule would be more predictable with a better view, and maybe, benefits.
Give me a holla when you check in with Jax on 127.57 and ask for Neal.
Hunter.
Phone guy. I will start my 39th year in August. Worked small systems 10 - 20 phones all the way up to 40,000 ports. I have seen many changes since I began in the old step offices in the air force. For those that are familiar, VOIP is awesome.
