ok, for all of you who have been worried about me and wondering where I have been.................
Basically the federal gov't is runnin out of money and I was one of the newest and not yet permanent I was non-retained. what happened was while people were deployed they hired temps to fill the slots and some perm people(me) well when the guys got back from Iraq they found out the overfilled the alloted slots at almost all of the FMS shops, so HRO made a list of the newest, and temp and 9/11 people............. and yes of course my name was on the list.......... but my shop chief is fighting to get me back because as of May 28th the only other mechanic that could work on the ABS and CTIS systems got his 20 year letter and said bye, and he and I were the only people in the state who could work on those 2 systems, and until he got back from Iraq I was doin them all myself, so see there is even a moral......even when you are a high demand, needed neccessity, they will still screw you, or let you go. but I've already found a nother job up in Jessup makin close to the same amount of money, but doin small engines and no diesel, but its a job, I am still looking, if anyone know of a diesel shop hiring please pass on the information, I dont start with the AACo Fire Dept till december and thats if I pass the rest of the tests

Hello, y'all. Had a big storm here. Thundering right now. I went looking for air compressors today.
Took a look at the core support on my 97, and ugh.....don't think I can do this job.
