I have not been employed since I retired from the Navy in Dec 2008. At first I was hitting every job fair and applying everywhere I thought I could find employment. Then when Mrs Crusty had our daughter, we decided I would stay home for a while and raise the baby.
I did some volunteer work for a friend for about 6 months, he opened up an automotive restoration shop, it got me out of the house and kept my hands busy.
I have also been delivering cars and trucks for dealer trades and tent / credit union sales.
About a month ago one of my not so close friends asked if I was available to start work at his company, I met with the owners and got the job. I now manufacture FAA approved flight simulators! I get to play with airplanes, be creative, and work with electronics. Not exactly where I pictured myself four years ago but it is an opportunity!
