So it’s been awhile since I logged in last, why I stopped on this thread I don’t know. A lot of interesting careers out there. I for one did the follow your dream path, can’t always say that’s a good thing to do either… though I’ve been at it for 32 years now. In the early 70’s did 6 and half in the Navy and picked up some interesting skills. Took an offer from another faction and have playing in this field ever since. When you’re young they stick you in operations if you survive it they figure you’re smart enough to do acceptance testing of new toys. After a while you find you find yourself saying why did they do it like that “that was stupid” Bad move… before you know it you’re working with a D&D team (design & development) after ten or so years of that you find that talking to yourself yields better answers than what you get from management. They call this “Burnout” I call it sucked out. Anyway next you find yourself back out on the road teaching noobies (that’s short for new boobs) how to operate the toys that you helped create without doing themselves in. I’m finding this to be a challenge, sometimes getting a body part mangled can be a good teacher. Especially for the guy standing next to the mangleee… But I have been told by management that corporal training methods are frowned upon. They’re just taking all the fun out of it anymore, 15 months to eligibility we shall see if I can make it…
Who do I work for, good question, the world’s largest non-profit. What do we do, I dunno,(it’s not allowed) but it can be fun from time to time.

During the workweek, I'm the Department instructor for my PD. On those rare occassions, I work the road as either an FTO or Patrol officer.

During the riding season, on alternating weekends, I'm a RiderCoach for the MSF and HD Rider's Edge.
