engneer20, You can't hide this thing. It is a felony conviction, pure and simple. Government work is out; almost every corporation does a back ground check these days also. Get a hold of a counsoler at the Board of Naval Corrections and try to get the discharged upgraded, otherwise you'll...

I have to agree with Sapper, you have what amounts to a federal felony conviction on your record. It may be a good time to write a letter to the Conveining Authority and Board of Naval Corrections. Show them how you turned your life around and request that your discharge be upgraded. But a...

Thank you all, Freon

goodoboy, Take a look at Rigzone.com or Downstreamjobs.com. Believe it or not, the oil industry is hiring technical staff across the board. You may find a Control Systems slot there. Freon

I think there is a lot of drama still to go. Will the Pac-Whatever sweeten the deal; for UT and OU? Maybe the SEC will? Why would the "Big-10" take in a power program from Nebraksa that could dominate the conference? It will get more enteresting as the days pass. Remember, it is always...

Ladies & Gentlemen, I was in your boat about five years ago. Texas is one of a handful of states that post the results in an online system so you will know before most of your peers in other states. The nice lady that answers the phone & email in Austin is giving it to you straight...

I second the motion

I worked with the CoE when I was on active duty a few times. And I have friends at a few offices. With very few exceptions, they like working there.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I am looking into taking the Petroleum Engineering PE Exam in the next year or so. Anyone out there taken it? I am looking for reference materials. Freon If I pass it, should I put PE2 on my cards?

I vented my car's A/C to the atmosphere, used an electric vacuum pump to evacuate the air and put in a fresh charge of R-12. All while changing the oil in all three family cars (Anybody see a storm drain?) and drinking a rum & coke from a styrofoam cup....

More than once I have swapped seats with someone because they could not tolerate sitting by a "noisy" baby. I have four little ones and do remember how hard it can be to travel with them. Make it easy on the Mom, make it easy on the flight crew; good karma will follow you....

I recommend staying home with the Rug-Rat.

Ladies & Gentlemen, It is rodeo season in Houston, most of the office has left already. But I volunteered to hang around until closing time and watch the phones. So I am enjoying a ice-cold Coca-Cola and watching the clock...

Maker's Mark has no fat, trans fat or salt; and is lactose-free to boot (Throwing a bone to MiniSnick) Freon I was considering making a **** reference...

I've never met a lady over 39! And that included the little blue-haired ones in the front row at church. So, Happy 38th birthday!

Can't argue with your logic. But I just can't see the Big 10 crafting a psckage that would pull Texas or Missouri away from the Big 12. Nebraska could be "bought" for a better price, and they have a rabid fan base.

As a Texas alum, I would hate to see them change conferences, and it makes little to no sense that they would. When the talking heads dive into the subject, they always talk about the "Big 10 money", but UT is not hurtin' for cash. UPDATE: Reading this thread got me interested. I went to...

In the end, it is always about the money. "Super Conferences" like the SEC & Big 12 get to play the cash-cow conference championship game; they also (right or wrong) get the advantage of the additional media exposure right before the bowl selection is done. I think the Big 10 + 1 wants to...

Good luck on the transition.

'Bama won, but Texas showed up and kept working, even after the injuries to McCoy and the center (Hix?) I do think Gilbert grew up alot last night, we'll see if it translates to next year. As for the officiating, there were some bad calls & missed calls; but the guys in strips did not...
