Re: I need a career. Stat.
99% of the problem is likely I have only been at my current job 6 months. I was at my previous one for 2 years. I get asked why I want to job change so soon, and I usually say I am not fond of Dahlgren and want to move closer to family. When I took the job I was just too excited about going some where new.
As for NNSY I just never get a call back and I use the USAJOBS website. I think the problem there is my resume isn't tailored to thier checklist.

Re: I need a career. Stat.
shawn, im thinking of applying to the vbeach pd in september, the benefits are great, you can advance, pay is decent for a single guy. haha
you earn (annually) $36,600 during academy training which is 24 weeks (6 months) so you ACTUALLY earn roughly $18,300 during that 6 months (before taxes)
and once you graduate they increase you 5% to $38,400 annually. (which does not include earnings from paid overtime or court time. and all the uniforms and equipment are supplied for you.

Yeah I've looked into that alot before, but Im gonna see how this shipyard deal works out. If I dont enjoy it there, I'm probably gonna try to go the PD route, but probably Norfolk or Chesapeake, fuck VB.

Honestly, welding is of a huge demand right now and the Shipyard would be a great program to get experience in it with the hands-on apprentice-style training. Welders make pretty decent money with a good verse of experience in their pocket. I was just reading about welding being a much desired skill as of late.
