I think there's a saying on this forum along the lines of "Pictures; or it didn't happen"
lol
I'm on the welfare.
Will be a disabled vet in a couple months after 11.5 years in the USAF. Fell from a roof about a year ago and broke my back. 3 blown discs, 2 crushed vertebrae. Uncle Sam said I was of no use to anyone, so out the door.
Dunno what I'll be doing next. Most of the things I enjoy I can't do for a living because of my back.
Enjoy life as best you can, make lemonade from those lemons,here on hearth we dont know how to quit.I'm on the welfare.

Can i off you a "Dos Equis"
That is awful! Like I said above, my mom was hit by a drunk driver, she had a lot of spinal injuries. She has radiated vertebrae replaced in her neck. All these years later she still has good and bad days. I feel for you man, back pain is no joke, especially at your severity. You are still an asset to us, even if Uncle Sam doesn't think so Try to think positive thoughts (I know that can be hard when you are in excruciating pain) and good things will come to you. Not sure what you did for the USAF but with that sort if time in, you'd think they'd offer you something like flight scheduling or inventory/supply management where you wouldn't have to do any heavy lifting. I don't have any connections out in Alaska but maybe someone here can help! Chin up!

My Wife and I bought and sold a few houses and condos, and resold at a profit.....wasn't our intention, but we were able to buy cheap, fixem' up a little and sell a few years later (hot realestate market).....was easy to do being no kids.....and the market was right....did pretty well and put all the monies away in investments till we retire....last sale/ purchase was in 2007 in the house we are in now, gonna be here awhile with a down market, but it's a great house in a great neighborhood.Did just about everything till 25 then got into real estate investing/rehabbing. Been semi retired since 33, am now 56. Spent a lot of winters in the South pacific since 1989.. Now i enjoy the cold weather with the help of 4 woodstoves at 4 different locations. No regrets.
That is absolutely terrible. I hope things get better for ya Nate.I'm on the welfare. Will be a disabled vet in a couple months after 11.5 years in the USAF.

Sorry guys didn't mean to turn this into a "woe is me" thread Thanks for the comments though, some days it's kinda depressing thinking about it and it really does help to have people that truly are concerned.
I'll get a bit of $$ each month from VA disability. Not enough to live off of, but every bit helps. Right now plans are to use a VA Voc Rehab program to go back to school. For what... honestly I'm not sure yet.
Just move to Canada. We are looking for people who want to work. I am sure there would be something in the Yukon for ya That is a terrible situation and it pisses me off to see someone dedicate their life to a job like that and then get tossed to the can...F&*^%^Sorry guys didn't mean to turn this into a "woe is me" thread Thanks for the comments though, some days it's kinda depressing thinking about it and it really does help to have people that truly are concerned.

I'm the ops guy who knows technology...or am I the tech guy who knows how to run a DC?
Hey guys
I was just curious what everyone does/did for a living?
Since I asked the question I should be the one to answer: I am a police officer/investigator.
What about you?

No worries, I am not an Under Cover agent (U/C). Just remember: I was born human and decided to become an officer. Not the other way aroundTry to avoid answering questions from police officer/investigator
