Get a job, hippie!

I am, just gotta get the Green out of my system first.

Wait, no, **** that, you're not my boss, oh get out of here you.

I can have you killed (in-game )

Union member.
Poultry processing, industrial style.
I know how your chicken nuggets are made.

The one that the chaps at the recruitment office pointed to me towards was Marine Engineering Officer, seemed interested in getting me to go for the Submarine fleet though. Mention of postgrad diplomas too, still researching it but it looks appealing to do for a few years and look at BAE or do an EngD and see how it ends up

Nah, more like

Stupidly rich guy / large company goes into an investment bank
"Hey I have too much money and want to open a bacon factory in Saudi Arabia. Is this a good idea?"
Then after the bankers have looked at them for being total idiots they might say yes then they come to us and ask.
"This stupidly rich idiot has too much money, we want some of their money, is their idea good?"

Then we come back and tell them no and why. We dont offer investment advice, but warn about the risks involved due to war / religion / politics / future potential disasters.

We're not accountants, we sign off / warn against large investments for the insurers and underwriters so if it all goes pear shaped they know who to blame. (not us, but the idiots who advised them to do this)

In the financial world we're paid to be honest and this is a bloody rare thing.

Never regretted going 'Nuc.' It's hard, the hours are insane, the working conditions are abominable, and you'll absolutely love it. Or crater in very short order, in a manner most spectacular.

I know a friend who made it as a Nuke for submarines. He is happy with it. Though I would never go nuke... I hate heavy math or the idea or submarine life.

Frigates and cruisers are where it's at :p

Digital Forensics.

Ah. Targets, you meant to say?

So you go thru hard drives for evidence??

Ah. Targets, you meant to say?

Reminds me of the time when the Royal Navy were hauling a target around for the gin-soaked waxy-moustachiod ones in the RAF for target shooting one day.

After a few runs from the RAF the captain of the RN vessel opened up a channel and spoke to the firing controller, "For your information we're towing the target, not pushing it"

Hahaha... well they are better then carriers and subs IMO. But when I work on helos that are anti-sub, that is a good thing for our boat :)

Correct. (I've seen some nasty ****.....)

So..if you discover some of that nasty stuff, do you make lame puns and put on sunglasses?


please, tell me you do...

Currently unemployed :(

By trade an auto electrician, used to do a lot of work on stupidly expensive cars, retrofit multimedia, vehicle trackers and the like. Now it's all done at the factory so I turn my hands to whatever comes along and pays the bills.

A lot of garages are hopeless at electrical diagnostics, and just start replacing random parts if they're not sure, and give up after you've blown a load of money.

In before all the 12 yr old (and sadly some older) walts pretending to be Marines and the usual "semper fi" bollocks that these threads always descend into.

As an ex member of the SAS, Paras, Royal Marines, Mossad, Spetsnatz, French Foreign Legion, 2nd man on the balcony at the Iranian embassy seige, part time security advisor to the Al Fayed family and close personal friend and business partner of Mark "Damn; I got caught again" Thatcher, kids pretending to be members of the elite forces annoys me so much I want to slot them.

You didn't see me right? I wasn't here.

Oh, I forgot; I'm also a highly trained Ginja Warrior.... sort of like Ninjas but less well camouflaged and much, much angrier.

Ex-Nuke (12 years surface fleet).

Now a Corrections Officer at a County Jail (12 years).

The first one was safer

Did you just do installations? Or diagnostics and repair? A lot of garages are hopeless at electrical diagnostics, and just start replacing random parts if they're not sure, and give up after you've blown a load of money. With a lot of complex cars approaching and passing their 10th birthday you could keep yourself busy for a long time.

I'm an accounts assistant, which translates as data entry monkey. I really need to dust off my CV...
