As many here may know, I spent the better part of my 27 years of AF/ANG service as a CATM Instructor. Since then, I've been a Drafter for the Antarctic Program. Well the contract for the program is up for re-bid and the business models have changed significantly, to the point that I'm not feeling all warm and cuddly about my future prospects with the program. Engineering Jobs in the Denver area seem to have pretty much dryed up, yes I've been looking. But this past Sunday in the Denver Post classifieds I found an ad for Thorton Police Department, here just north of Denver, has posted an opening for an Armorer. The job description reads almost exactly like my old CATM slot and the pay is almost identical to my current position. So last night I updated my resume and applied for it. I just hope I don't jinx it by telling about it.

Just knock on wood and all will be well.

Sounds like it is pretty perfect Ice and with your experience they would be pretty stupid to pass you up. Good luck and we will all be waiting to hear how it goes. :)

Good luck landing the job IP, at least with a municipal employer there's a little stability. I know exactly what you're saying with the new contracts, hell, I'm working C-5's because there's just no A-10 work out there.

Thanks for the good wishes guys. Makes me feel I can't loose. I posted the application yesterday and the position closes on the 28th, so for now, I play the waiting game. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!
