A small word or two of advice:

Don't smoke pot before the physical.

Don't take ANYTHING from work. I am a retired union Federal government worker. Very few things will get you fired. However...

At the local maintenance facility on a nearby military base they used to discard old shipping crates in the dumpster. A couple of guys started taking them home to salvage the wood. They were arrested for theft of government property, got their names in the newspaper, and got fired.

Government, and especially military rules can be extremely inflexible at times.
 
No joke about taking gov property, the armed guards would randomly stop guys getting off shift and have them open their lunch coolers. I saw guys escorted out, end of their job, for the stupidest things they were stealing. I was told one guy wrapped himself in copper wire, they said it was quite a bit. Anyhow, he tripped walking up the hill, fell down and couldn't get up. Caught the guards eye and he got in some serious trouble.

thanks appreciate the headsup...... no worries those days are over big time... been 30 years since I smelled the stuff.. 35 years since got a moving violation . and I dont take nutin that don't belong to me... God gave me 2 hands to work. I like not having to hide stuff look over my shoulder and worry . last thing i learned is sometimes all ya gota do is just ask. that EZ yea I dont intend on doin nothing keeping my mouth shut(I hope I do talk too much ) lol... Im pretty street smart pick onto environments quick so once I learn the rules it el be a given keep nose clean .there to do ajob once ya get into those gates ya only leave with the clothes on your back.. that's ok with me... but thanks for hadsup I am a garbage picker tho sometimes ...
gota get that out of mind if I spot something .. leave it alone.... yup and ya can get arrested picken garbage .. those por boys picked the wrong garbage... ya don't mess with he FEDS stuff NOPE not even the garbage
 
Yep, you don't take nothing through those gates unless you have a pass that says you can.
 
Yesterday met with realestate agent to list my house. Was a bit discouraged tho how much property values lost last few years. o well least I still have 140K in equity.
was speaking to a coworker that Lived in Va beach he said your not getting a house on the bay ... well got that me thinkin... I may get a boat again so one thing may have to sacrifice.. the house size not the SHOP THO. I didn't want to hold a mortgage again but who knows if it has both I may up the anty 50-75 K get best of both worlds .. this dream is unbelievable go from down In the dumps dead end Job to some thing i never deserved or dreamed of. No less thought of could happin at least till I was 70 years old.. now that is "Gods "Grace" Grace = undeserved Favor .. u have no idea how thankful I am just to have Job opportunity , never mind all the other blessings that will follow. I been looking In Va check out what ya can get for 170K . that's the back yard view..lol..Thanks for putting up with me fellas..Thanks for all the encouragement

thanks ...ssh!! I didn't move yet less give my notice at work yet keep it down..
Na that's ok SHOUT IT from Roof tops. I am very thankful for a job don't care much about money .. material things in life .. they are nice and having money is only convince .. but opportunity and hope for future have no price tag . And being able to provide for my family and work for it is all Im looking for . The last 7 yrs at current job has been a struggle to get out of bed .. a man needs to take pride for what he does , work hard and earn his keep . JMHO it is unhealthy to inherit money, win lotteries get cushy jobs that they did not earn ect.. Open unnecessary lawsuits Go on disabity when you are more than able to work....
I am humbly thankful to the Lord provided and I am willing to work for it. If I get a blessing from being faithful than so be it .. it will never take away my core values. cuz I know where all of it came from..
