Active Duty in the Army National Guard. I almost have a college degree .... and once I retire from the military (at age 37:D ), I will finish it off and pursue that. I have 3 MOS's (military occupational specialties) which are: 63G Fuel & Electrical Technician, 63W(H) All Wheel Mechanic, and 79T Recruiting & Retention NCO. I'm currently not on mission as a recruiter, as I work on the Mobile Recruiting Team for North Carolina. Basically, I travel across the state with a pimped out Hummvee, working large events that have our target market ..... such as all professinal sports events, car shows, etc. I love my job.

Spare time .... I like to work on my vehicles, mess around with my nitro truck, play guitar, play on StangNet, watch racing & football. Oh .... and I will soon be married.


What rank are you?
 
We run our Family business. We've been around for about 45 years now. We specialize in Volkswagen/Honda Service and Parts. For fun I hang out with my girlfriend, mess with my car, or play tiger woods on the pc. I keep it pretty simple. She just got a 99 GT so I get to have fun modding that now too.
 
For a living I am a police officer and recently switched from a position with the department here in town to a officer with University Police with the local college campus since they pay more. For fun I am a vol firefighter and EMT.
 
Profession: I'm a medical sales rep. I sell everything from vaccines and gloves to equipment such as ultrasounds, lab instruments, etc. I've been with my company for 5yrs. Its a 100% commission job which can be scarey at times, but it's also great in that my company doesn't micro manage us. I can't imagine doing anything else, I truly enjoy my job.

For fun I like to travel, race/show my car, and hang out with my wife. We're expecting our first child here in May and we're very excited about it!
 
I'm a registered Sleep Disorders Technician. Basically I work midnights 6 nights a week watching people sleep. If you had insomnia, sleep apnea, or sleep walking I'd be the guy putting the wires on to monitor you. Its not the most exotic job, but I now make $21/hr and have great benefits. :nice:

Killer I've probably used some stuff that you sell. :nice:

I'm 24 and in my limited free time I hang with my awesome gf and try to enjoy being a homeowner. I just bought my first house about 2 months ago, so its pretty cool being able to play my music loud and have my own garage. I had been in apartments since I was 20, so its a nice change of pace.

I go to the drag strip & road course during the summer, go running, and mostly try to hang with my gf. In the winter I like snowboarding, and generally hibernating.
 
Back in the states, I supervise an Artillery and Truck maintenance shop fulltime, near Rock Island, Illinois. Currently, I'm working at what basically amounts to a truck stop on the Iraq-Kuwait border. I'm a Chief Warrant Officer Three.

For fun, I have the stang of course. Using my free time over here to locate and buy good used parts for the combo. I also have a 1953 F100 Streetrod I spent 5 years doing a body off build-up. Anyone want to see PICs :D

Wife and a daughter back in Iowa. University of Iowa grad. Go Hawkeyes!
 
Joe- I actually had a sleep study done a few years ago. When driving I'd get tunnel vision and black out for a split second. Turns out I was just completely and utterly exhausted. I was working as a belt vulcanizer in the coal mines back then and we worked really weird shifts, and they were exceptionally long (12-20+hr shifts.... how ever long it took to get the job done). We were always on call so sleep was had to find. I'm just glad it was nothing major, and I'm glad that was only a summer job while in college. The weird thing about the test is that I was able to hit REM at 3 minutes into sleep!?!? I can still almost start to dream before I'm completely asleep... I know, I'm weird that way. LOL!

As for my company we primarily don't call on hospitals, our main focus is on primary care physicians like family, OBGYN, cardiologist, etc. We do sell absolutely everything though so it wouldn't surprise me if we called on places such as the one you work in. In 5yrs that I've been doing this there were only three things I couldn't get. Our branch actually services all of Michigan, we have some cool guys up that way.


Thanks Chris for the congrats on the baby!
 
Profession: electrical engineer at a power plant. I mostly concern myself with 115KV highlines and our generation facilities.

For fun: Anything outdoors. Fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, sailing, snowmobiling, etc etc. Its my personal opinion that anything you can do is better if you do it outside. I go running all the time, usually with my dog, who I'm attached at the hip with when I'm at home. (109 pound chocolate lab) I also like taking things apart and figuring out how they work, howstuffworks.com is by far my favorite website.

Of course the mustang!
