Jas. Hook Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hey my partner in crime Boats, was a submariner when he was in the Navy and called himself a pirate even then. So the Navy can be proud that it's former and current personnel just love to go out and find their way to pirate groups. RR - I'm surrounded by ex-NucNavy types... I think most were oxygen deprived at some point of their career. Jas. Hook "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.

When I'm not studying for a mail-order gynecology course, I sample rum, and sell used ice.

Honour Bright Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I changed careers in two totally different directions. Formerly an office manager for my husband's now-defunct construction company, I am now working in two hospitals as a pharmacy technician. One of the hospitals is a state of the art, cutting edge brand new children's hospital. I also am a contributing regular writer for Pirates Magazine. Taking on the world....one pair of boots at a time! A little bit of this...a little bit of that...a lot of dreams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say i studdy the same thing on the internet. I'd say im rather an expert on observing that sort of thing, and I dont charge but a couple of drinks!!

Iron Jon Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would have sworn that I answered this, or a thread just like it, back when I was actually still working! Anyway... I'm now recently retired from a job in federal law enforcement. I spent over 20 years of my career in South Florida and part of that time I was driving boats along the coast from Miami down through the Keys and out to the Tortugas. For the last year and a half I was teaching law to new recruits at the academy out in New Mexico for the same agency. Prior to the law instructor detail I taught pursuit driving and emergency response driving for almost a year. I retired for good on January 31st and relocated a few hundred miles north to Palm Bay where I'm now (halfheartedly) looking for a new job. Anybody have any good job leads in Central Florida?? Child support takes a big chunk out of my monthly annuity!
