I am there now. I go into work and hang out for a little while. Answer some emails and then I just BS the rest of the day. Last week I left early and went golfing. Was going to do that again today but I have nobody to go with. Starting next week I think I will golf every day, at least 9 holes. Only 44 days left

I serve a whole helluva lot of former military and let me give you two civilian tips: Do not knife hand when pointing and nobody is going to take your fucking food.

Truly happy for you George, and I wish you the best!

Make sure you smoke a whole freaking humidor of cigars over your neighbor's fence as soon as you get home!!! You've earned it!

They tend to point with all four fingers and, when they eat, they have one hand on their thigh and they just shovel food in.

Thanks for the heads up but I have no intention of leaving Colorado Springs until the boy graduates from HS, which is another 5 years away. He needs some kind of stability with friends and what not.

There is a Northrop Grumman location in Colorado Springs but I have no idea what they do there. Don't think it is our drone stuff, probably cyber security (which I've been told is hiring like crazy)...

It is cyber crap. Wish I had training in the IT field, there are companies here in the Springs hiring left and right.

Got my first call back for a job to set up a time to speak to a hiring manager.

Where should I go to get a suit when I pass the the phone interview and get called to VA or MD for a in person interview.
