Title: My own Little Announcement
Post by: redmenace on November 10, 2005, 04:08:32 pm
Well one day here at school, I went to the career fair. Well I started talking to someone from the Department of Defense. And before I knew it I was walking to have an interview with one of their staff. Well, to make a long story short, I am now employed with the DoD in their contracting division as a student Co-Op. :D

Yah, I have been sitting on this news for the past week or so waiting for HLP to go back up. Best part is, you can go over seas. Guess where I would like to go for a tour ;)

Major congratulations, dude. :D

So where are you looking to go in the world?

That is an option. They give you $60,000 for six month assignment. The way I figure it, as long as you survive the ride to and from Bagdad airport and through downtown bagdad you'll be ok. I did decide if I ever had to go there that I would take small arms training and self defense class and keep a concealed 9mm on my person.

But honestly, I would like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait. Any of those would be great. However, really want to visit London. France is out of the question(even before the riots).

Why's France out of the question? It's a great country...

Gratz on the job though. :yes:

Thanks,
I am sure the country is beautiful. Its the fact that the French live there...and there is a general stereotype of the french that is pretty acurate from what I understand.

Does this mean that when I eventually start up an arms dealing operation, you can get me lucrative contracts?

Kudos on the job. Just try not to accidentally push The Button.

Sounds interesting. Congrats. :yes:

I'm actually looking for a summer internship or part-time job myself at the moment. I could go to NIST for a second time or look for something else, maybe the nearby APL campus or one of the several military contractors in the area. I wouldn't consider anything that required me to go outside daily commuting range, much less outside the country, but I fortunately have a lot of local options.

Good stuff. :)Congrats

I guess that feature is not quite working yet. :D

Glow tags. Doesn't work in FF, I think we found that out during testing but I figured maybe someone had found a way round it.

Hey whoa, hold on a second. In Internet Explorer it puts a wee box round it and all sorts of crazy ass nonsense. :wtf:

One small step for a man, one giant leap for stereotype destruction: link (http://www.lisasdotcom.com/stereotypes.htm)

I'm pretty sick of the anti-French sentiment.
