A New Great Period In My Life Might Just Be Dawning
« on: February 28, 2011, 05:57:19 PM »
After being unemployed for over a year I could soon be starting a 4 year apprenticeship program at Austal USA in Mobile, AL. This couldn't come at a better time as I am literally on the verge of losing my truck. Not only will I have a job,but I will gain a trade in the long term. The last 3-4 years in my life I have tried, and failed to get out on my own and make a living. I have never given up I just kept pushing on. People who know me personally are amazed at how I keep my composure and keep pressing on. I have on interview the 2nd at 11:50 AM wish me luck.

Good luck. 

I was out of work for most of last year.  It wasn't pleasant.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Times are tough and are only going to get tougher while the left control most of the levers of power.

Yes, congrats and good luck!

Mobile may have lost the Tanker because of the cry babies at Boeing used the Dems to bully EADS, but we still have all the nice contracts Austal is getting from the Navy.

heh

Back during my stint as a civilian I actually played a part in a black op to make that happen.

We tied EADS to Hugo Chavez hard and heavy.

I can say with all candor Boeing was never part of the op, never knew about it but I know the materials we provided were seen by "the right people" in congress. That Boeing should benefit was never an objective. Stopping EADS was the from stripping the craft and selling to Hugo at a loss then selling to the US at a profit was our only goal.

Yes, that's the implication.

You work. You persevere. You self-rely.

ergo you make a lousy liberal.

Well two years ago I got my Job at Austal USA, but god has planted something in my heart. I am a leader not follower. Just yesterday, after comtiplating running for office for the last week, a lady who did not know who I was or the thoughts running through my mind came up to me at church. She told me I was leader. My cities municipal elections are being held in Nov., and I intend to run.
