Rag on people on TPF. He knows what he's talking about but seems to always rag on me and probably others too.
It's 2011 my friend the threads from 07 and 09, nobody looks at anymore..

Hahaha i'm going to guess you're either a security guard at a mall Or a team manager of some sorts.

Although there are typically between fifteen and twenty normal security officers working the beat there, we decided a while ago that it would be best to have a specilized force for violent individuals. We use modified electric vehicles and can be anywhere on a given floor within eight and a half minutes.Naturally, the regular security people are unarmed. We “RTFers”, by arrangement with the local police, carry high-strength OC spray and batons. If we have a full tactical alert and permission from the local LEOs we also have a Mossberg 500 with less-lethal rounds and two K-frame Smith .38s loaded with 158gr. LRN.Basically, the situation is that we get the call, we lock up the situation, put everything five by five, and cordon the area until the local authorities arrive. We’re cops, we just don’t get the glory. I am not permitted to carry Glocks on duty; however, when my wife picks me up from work I strap on the “Deadly Duo” of a 27 and 23, each with Bar-Sto .357 bbl.




Long Live Gecko45...... the original Mall Ninja (and greatest intertubes troll that has ever lived.)

Actually, I'm a phone jockey at a call center for a Health Insurance company.

jesus

This whole mall deal is a joke. Gecko45 was a user on a forum called GlockTalk. He posted this story on there, folks called BS and he just keep going. One of his claims was to have been shot with 308 rifle, but his vest saved him. For a while it was a must on GlockTalk until he finally left.

As for me I'm a contractor for the Army. Our team tracks everyone who comes home on R&R from the box, and those redeploying back to CONUS.

Avionics/Electronics/IT Was working with Sikorsky Aerospace Maint until the layoffs, now just a bum with a camera.

What part of TX do you live in?

I don't think we're hiring right now, but they make exceptions for people that actually have experience.

I live in Greenville, so I guess you know where I work based on that... (L-3) Sometimes it sucks, but the money is better than I've seen anywhere else in the country currently. The money is the only reason I'm still here...

Beeville TX, SAM Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance Based at the old NAS Chase Field. Was the home of training air wing 3, VT-24, VT-25 and VT-26.
Layoffs, Hires, layoffs. According to their "promises" there should be about 1500 people working there but there are only about 250.

I can't promise anything, but PM me if you're interested. Worst case, nothing happens.

You have to be a US citizen, and a clean enough record to get a security clearance is a definite plus. (If you already have one, or have had one recently - even better.)

You would have to move, and - I hate to say it, but Greenville kinda sucks. Dallas isn't far though. Just an option... I understand if you don't want to move or anything like that.
And, it is a large corporation, so you get all the BS rules that go along with that...

...Better than unemployment though.

military - was a cop, can't talk about what i am now.

 

[Strawboss]

21 years as a firefighter/paramedic, I can take photos of just about anything on the job except anything pertaining to EMS. Fires, trucks, traffic, buildings, damage but nothing with people who are being treated or rescued and certainly not their faces. We have a cop that takes our photos at fires for training and media use. Any photo I've taken at a scene has been with a cheap, point and shoot disposable camera, for obvious reasons, around the firehouse is different.

 

[Buckster]

Telcommunications construction engineer. Going on 32 years in the business, I started my career in '79 as a lineman:

Even then, I always carried a camera with me. This was shot with my trusty Nikon F while working up a pole in Vermont around '84:

My career gets me around:

I never run out of new things to see and shoot, and that's the way I like it. :thumbup:

 

[RauschPhotography]

Went to school for music recording... held several jobs as an audio engineer... took a break from that... might be going back to it this Summer... sooo... lets ignore all the little things I did in my non-audio time this year and just say I'm an audio engineer.

Pretty much the same. Went to school for music recording/engineering, but decided it was more or less a really expensive hobby! Now I'm just a poor college student, majoring in mass communication with a minor in marketing. Haven't been doing anything impressive job-wise.

That's three that I've replied to in the past, there are probably more. Nothing targeted at anyone, not busting anyones balls ....... other than those that don't try using the search function.

If you haven't noticed, I've been here since 2007. Sometimes it is a good idea to search old threads because there used to be some wise photographers active here that would 'splain thangs.

 

[Bram]

I am glad that I am here now. I have taken somevery good advice from alot of great "photographers" here on the forum. I'm sure there were but instead of reading the old threads I like to interact with the people I talk to most. So therefore i thought of creating this thread to get to know the people here better.

 

[Blitz55]

I do marketing for a water testing laboratory. They have no problem with me having a camera.
In fact, I just bolted out the door earlier today because I saw a hawk and wanted to try and get the best pic I could.

I have this nice view of a field out my office window. When it rains we get big pools of water so I can watch Ducks swimming around and crows come in to take baths. Then we have a Red Tail who is hovering around and a Blue Herring who was out there hunting the grounds. The fun time is when they mow the field down and we have this big bald eagle who comes over for an all you can eat meal in the fields.

Unfortunately I don't exactly have a telephoto lens and the Hawk took off on me.

Sounds like a hard job.

Yep, it's one of two reactors powering this:

^^^ I build this for a living. Obviously, we can't bring camera's of any type into the dockyard. Not even camera phones. ;-/ lol.

Nodadamnthing wrong with that. I understand the social aspect. Perhaps my exercise in futility was misplaced in this thread. It was more geared at some of the other threads of late.
