Retired.  Before that I spent 37 years working for the Defense Logistics agency as an Inventory Manager and Account Manager in Subsistence before retiring in 2017.  If you were in the military during that time I probably had a hand in feeding you.

Helped run a family auto recycling yard, then I got the news of brain cancer about 5 years ago. So I'm mainly retired due to doctor orders. I fish a few times during the week and repair circuit boards/electronics.

 

[bulldog1935]

Metallurgist, corrosion engineer, licensed PE.  

Consulting for petrochem plants in component failures, and life prediction in plant systems.  

Some legal work, which is always interesting.  

[Way2slow]

Twice retired.  Retired from the Air Force in 1996.  Retired industrial equipment mobile service tech in 2011.  My specialty was electric equipment but repaired any and everything the customer wanted to pay $85 and hour for me to work on.

In the Air Force I was in an electronics carrier field and got my degree in electronics, but did it as a hobby before I joined.  Spent most of my carrier in classified, special duty assignments.  Even went through Ranger School and trained with the Special Forces some.   

Before going into the AF, I was the maintenance superintendent at a large practical board plant. 

Traveled all over the state repairing hydraulic and pneumatic equipment for several years before that.

 

Note:  No where in that resume does it say Boat mechanic or Outboard Motor mechanic.  I have never worked as either of those.
