FBI Special Agent
Work out of the Philadelphia Division, also a FBI Firearms Instructor and on the Philadelphia Division FBI SWAT team. My part time job is I'm a Special Forces officer for a National Guard unit that works with other Special Operations forces all over the world. So, yes, I guess I like a good adrenaline rush.

Wow......
Such a wide spectrum of jobs......I'm impressed.:woot:
I started out my employment life at the young age of 18, as an Aviation Mechanic with the Canadian Air Force. This was my life for 27 years. During that time I upgraded into a Flight Engineer position and was a Tactical Helicopter Crewmember for a few years until my retirement.
After retirement, my expertise with Gas Turbines allowed me the opportunity to take on some contract work in the Industrial Aeroderivative Gas Turbine field, as an Overhaul Technician. Very cool work, but very demanding on this old body.:hmm:
I had also re-trained as an A+ Certified Computer Technician and took on a job as a Computer Tech. I tell my kids that I didn't know what I wanted to do when I grew up, because I also took on a few jobs in the Automotive field for a couple of years. (parts, service tech and advisor) Both of these are now hobbies.....but that's another thread.
Lately though, I taught at a Military Training facility. This was my most interesting job as I was teaching CF-18 Mechanics how to Service and Repair F-18's......as a Civilian!!!!!:dance:
But by far the best is my present job. I'm back turning wrenches, but this time on the Israeli built Heron UAV, for a Canadian company, under contract to the Canadian and Australian Defence Forces, in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Keeping the eyes in the sky for our boys on the ground.:woot:
It isn't easy, but certainly rewarding.

Remind me not to be on your bad side. One would guess your a hell of a good shot.

new to Fiat
Technical Solution Manager...
...for Motor Coach Industries, AKA field service rep. One of the main things I do is troubleshoot electrical issues on new coaches. I also train technicians on the new coaches their company purchases and help engine dealers with the coach electrical system when they are diagnosing an engine complaint. I like it because I stay current with the technology being used in trucks and busses today. My territory is AL, MS, LA, and AR. Before MCI I was a diesel mechanic mostly working for fleet companies like Ryder and Averitt Express.

With my early Alzheimer's,
I can't remember if I responded to the question before. Anyway, I am a Project Manager for Chevron Energy Solutions (a very small division of the mothership). I've been in the energy efficiency and renewable energy business for about 35 years now. My mission all along has to been to kick OPEC in the a$$ one project at a time, while helping customers reduce energy and maintenance costs, and fixing design or installation problems at the same time.
