TOPIC: Life before HI

Wow contaminated water diving, that doesn't sound like fine! The marine inspection diver must have been interesting though. There actually is a guy using the program for boat inspections. I don't know if he dives. From what I've heard boat inspectors get to take the boats out for a spin for the day, nice gig

I guess I'm the new guy around here.  I haven’t even done my first inspection yet.  I started out in the Navy as a Sonar Tech on Submarines.  After I got out I eventually found a job at a metrology lab (fancy word for industrial test equipment calibration lab).  Worked there for 9 years.  During that job I put myself through collage, got an ABA and started towards a BBA in finance. I got into rental property and vending machines.  I got tired of working for someone who didn’t have an honest bone in his body and quit.  After sitting around and enjoying my new found freedom/vacation, my money started running low and I decided to try home inspections.  I have been talking with my fiancé about running her own translation/interpreting business in the next year or two.  As you can see, I love business.  And I said all that in one breath... 

Welcome John Sounds like you've been through a few jobs! Make sure to play nice with the Army and Air Force guys on here, hehe.

I'll try real hard!!! 

Haha. I know Greg Scheer just retired as a U2 pilot, Billy Boerner is actually in Iraq right now and quite a few other guys have stated they were previously in the service.

So what's it like living in a sub for long periods of time?

Hey John - list your website info (there is another place on the site - a SEO improvement post by Dominic) and we will all link to you.  Where are you located?
