I did place Philly, New Orleans and Kansas City also. I'll probably start plugging it it today.Quote:ordnance11 wrote:COLs a bitch, but that's why we get COLA (Cost Of Living Allowance - pay adjustment for high COL areas, not to be confused with per diem). I'm pretty sure that the civilian contractors get it as well, but I'll have to ask around to be sure.

Hey, Ord, if you've ever wanted to come to Japan, I'm pretty sure that SRF-JRMC Yokosuka is hiring.
For SRF-JRMC Yokosuka, you should find this link helpful: http://www.srf.navy.mil/pages/jobs.html
Nothing in Environmental right now, it looks like, but you never know...
ETA: also linked from the above page, but here it is anyways: a direct link into the DoN's Human resources page. Most of their stuff is done electronically through the web, which is probably why you're having trouble finding a phone to call them at. http://chart.donhr.navy.mil
As for the Retired Officer... well, some of us Military types get so used to working that it feels DAMN WEIRD to sit around. Sometimes even an 'active' retirement is just not enough. Take my Great-Uncle Dan Saldana for example. Never a better example of the Hard Working Man. The man did twenty years for the Navy, twenty years for the DEA, and then twenty years for AT&T. It took that much to wear him down. Now that he is thoroughly tired (and retired!) he collects two government pensions AND a 401/k!
