My name is Rick I am not new to MI but I am a newly graduated UTI student got out of Active Army and went to school for Auto/Diesel and Industrial. I am a diesel guy for sure I applied for several jobs here and think I landed a Ford Diesel Technician job with a Ford dealer in my city so I am happy about that.

 

Way to go, Thanks for your service, welcome to our small world.

 

Thank you went to school for Automotive now I am a diesel man through and through

 

Welcome and have fun ! And thanks for Serving !!

 

Welcome aboard soldier! Battle Creek isn't too far away from me. And yeah, once you drive a diesel, you're always going to have one. Even IF Volkswagen built it. heh heh heh.

 

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to the forum it's much appreciated.

 

Welcome back. Hope you get the job in battle Creek.

If you get bored there is a large army reserve unit in BC

 

I keep hearing that from a lot of people might have to check on that if I get bored.

 

Fort Custer over there. I go to the VA hospital there. will be there on the 5th of jan., from noon to about 3pm medical issues.

 

Yeah keep getting told I should apply for an AGR job over there so I can retire right here in MI and I am giving it a thought. How long has that VA Hospital been there?

 

Since ww 2

 

Damn I drive that way every now and then and never really notice it there.

 

Rick,
If you was active army then the conversion will be easy. Also the time put in will count towards your reserve time. My Navy did. Getting a very nice check each month after I turned 60. Free medical also.

NO I'm not a recruiter. A former career councelor

 

Yep they want me but they want me to go Officer and go to OCS so I am thinking about it very hard.

 

Good man. Think hard about it. If you became officer where would you drill as officer billets are hard to find. Ask.
