Now that is one helluva story!! Stand tall man/lady! You have major

weapons spec work, or that you worked with living things that brought
joy to yourself and others.

You made my day!

Well, of course I am far more happy to have brought life to the planet, than
death. The parts I worked on were for Boeing commercial jets, not fighters.
Weapon Spec is the quality of the assembly and soldering, etc, not necessarily
assembling weapons.

Either way, the best thing I did was take the job at the garden center. After
years of trade shows, and such...I doubt I could do that work any more. I'd
much prefer to water the pansies if I were to go back to work. Believe it or
not, I've never hired ONE PERSON who knew how to properly water flats of plants
or pots.
