ozemu 10 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Good on you for putting your living up there Andrew. I was out of work on compo having left the Army and succumbed to the Western worlds prejudice against men who are without work. Dented my mental health and self esteem I can tell you. We all do what we can and personally I think my contribution to society through Scouting is more valueable than my income from work. I dont do anything for church (another story there) and not much for school. So keep paddling Andrew, you are covering more valueable ground than I. Link to post Share on other sites

scouter659 10 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 GM Buy Power Manager for a Chevrolet Dealership. In between battles, I am thankful to have the time to do Scouting. I am also lucky that the dealership is very pro-Scouting. We can do unlimited car washes here for fund raising and the management is very supportive in my efforts to be involved in such a great organization. Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 DS - Thanks for asking a question that has no controversy! It seems that the most popular occupations are military or technology. Well, I'm a former Army-brat that works in the technology sector. Currently, I am Sr. Manager over Web Technologies for a "major quick-service restaurant company". Thanks for keeping the message boards alive! Link to post Share on other sites
dsteele 20 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Well, what do you know? How did I ask a question that hasn't generated controversy in 9 pages? Is that some kind of record? ? DS Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Dave, I think thats your second post which has created no problems. You need to keep making threads:) Link to post Share on other sites
Big_Dog 10 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi, I run an underground railway to help get Gays out of the Bible-belt. Sorry, Dave I couldn't resist. 9 pages and no controversy??? Naw, really I'm a central office technician for Vz in a little town in the Texas Hill Country. BTW, Eamonn, this is a great place to retire to. Warm might be an understatement, but the winters are mild! Have been a carpenter, worked in an aluminum plant, x-rayed welds in pipes for a refinery, played piano in a house of ill repute, now play for church, electronic tech, dispatcher, painter (buildings, not art) and sold real estate. Now I play with the grandbaby, and enjoy scouting when I get away from the phone company ya'll come visit Texas bd Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorThinker 10 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I was recently hired to work on a presidential campaign over my winter break through the Iowa caucus. I suppose that makes me more of a professional politician then before, when I was only volunteering for campaigns. Link to post Share on other sites
pfann 10 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Police Officer for 14 years, last 5 1/2 as a detective. Six years as DARE/crime prevention. About 18 months ago I decided I wasn't busy enough raising 5 boys (2 in cubs, 1 can't wait and 2 more who aren't old enough to know yet) so I got a job as a paid-on-call firefighter/EMT. I also do occasional "hospitality" (translate:security) jobs for the Catholic Archdiocese where I live. How did I become Cubmaster. Easy. The former CM and current Committee Chair saw I had 5 boys coming up and he knew he had his replacement. I have posted some but not in a while. Been doing plenty o'lurkin however.

hops_scout 9 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Man, SPL, you got it good... seven hours a week;) I average about 9 hours at school a day, 5 days a week. And then a couple on the weekend as well. Hopefully, in 3 years, I will be promoted to a major school (in which most of you know what I'm talking about) and then many more years doing that;) Link to post Share on other sites
Senior_Patrol_Leader_T15 10 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I meant 7 hours a DAY, 5 days a WEEK (8-3) You go 9 hours a day. Man, our schools are completey different, weekends(do you mean deterntion or Saturday school, you need to act better then) I have a bunch of conventions and things on the weekends(Beta, FFA, 4-H, Quiz Bowl, etc.) Link to post Share on other sites
