Congradulations one and all!!!

13 out of 15; I need to drink more beer....

I put old/sick oil wells and offshore platforms out of thier misery.

I'll send a PM to you

Where you live makes a big difference. If you are in a remote area, you may have to factory order to get anything not in the standard packages. I live in the Houston area, so there are hundreds of dealers with an hours drive, and I have always found a 98% or better match for what I wanted on...

My **** hound was kind enough to bring my wife a possum on Sunday evening....

When my 16" Craftman gave up the ghost last year at the worst possiable time, I replaced it with a 20" Husqvarna 455 Rancher. I've been very happy with my new toy. As a side note, I took the Craftsman saw to a local small engine repair guy. I told him how long I had the saw (4 years), how...

I am a UT Grad (ChE -'87) but my daughter goes to UT Arlington. If it is between those two schools, go to A&M. Not looking at UT Austin? I know the Cockrell School of Engineering has become so selective in some fields that a glowing endorsment from the Pope is needed just to get "wait...

Here at our office a couple weeks back they announced that everyone who used the title "engineer" needed to bring thier credentials in to be "reviewed". Lots of folks got new titles and business cards the next week. I think it may have something to do with an upcoming ISO 9000 audit. Does...

Well done!

I am gong thru the process now. In Texas it is easy. You just take the second exam "For record purposes". Or if you can cobble together a few years worth of experience on SERs, you can just request the Board award you a second designation. But it is only a formality.

I thought this thread was about neutering sheep with TNT, damn....

Happy Birthday, Freon

If you see Bob Ashton, ask him about "The Beast of Bullard Hall". I was on the '96 project, my interest was more on land equipment, but a smooth-talking Professor hooked me. It was a great experience.

I graduated in 97 from the EE program. Are you in the TSSE program? I am still the only Marine to complete it.

I lived this on the inside. Navy CEC officers, the Seabees are almost all degreed engineers. (David Robinson, the basket player, is a notable exception - He was a math major at USNA.) I was in a meeting with our "Corps-Level Engineer Officer", a English Major from a school with two cardinal...

I'd put it on the thesis. It is part of your formal title, just like rank and branch of service. I even had it inserted in the comments section on my DD214. Major Freon Twelve, P.E., USMCRet

I was 16 years out of my undergrad Chem E degree when I took the FE. I went with my degree. I was much more comfortable with chemistry than free body diagrams. (As a side note, I was about six years out of my MSEE, but after reviewing the sample exams, I went with my first field of study.)

Navy, You are right, my friend was an *****. But that is why doing your research into the program and school is important. There are alot of "Schools", both on-line and brick-and-mortar, that are borderline fraudulent. A while back on this board I talked about a young man that I interviewed...

I have a good friend that was sold a bill of goods on a "MBA" package. He was on active duty, living in Northern VA and he decided to go for some advanced learning to prepare himself for hanging up the uniform. He shopped around and found a great deal. A masters program in business that was...
