NAFTA
WTF? Canada's not exactly raking in American jobs - especially as the US is 'investigating' Canadian grain distribution for the 10th time (despite the fact that the first 9 times under the current structure Canada was found to be well within international trade law) and therefore closing Canada's largest grain market; and don't even get me going on softwood lumber.

You're broke, that sucks. Perhaps George W. should be working on some job creation instead of blaming everything wrong in the US on foreign countries.

TJ, at this point put the 7 aside. Bag the engine parts and oil them so they dont rust etc. Find a place to put it. Get the beater and use it to drive daily. Get yourself together and play with the 7, i.e. clean it up, resto type stuff...time intensive not $$$ intensive stuff. And when you get some bux, the start getting her back together. I wish all of you guys outta work good luck. I consider myself lucky in that I am still employed, and working for one of the only 3 US airlines that are making money these days. I've been there though, many layoffs, unemployment run out, no job, it sux big time monkey *** I know.

[i]As a side note Im thinking of joining the National Guard A buddy of mine's 2 houses down is a recruiter and he said sign up, go to boot camp, get a BIG sign on bonus, and get paid for one weekend a month playing basketball Of course dont mind doing what I have to do if need be tho

Good luck guys ! [/B]
Go Army! I was in for 8 years, 101st Airborne (Recon Scout and LRSD), 3rd Ranger Battalion, 5th SF and 2nd Ranger Battalion. Its not a bad life at all, especially for those that are not married. I got to do really cool high speed stuff and get paid for it, like jump out of aircraft and ride motorcycles. But I'm married now and have a kid, and I couldn't stand spending months and months away from home.

Where you're at you'd probably do your drills at Ft. Knox? Lots of armor there = lots of maintenance and cleaning those tracks.

Probably the biggest plus for everyone on this list is the Autocraft centers that they have on every post. As a soldier you get to go in and rent a bay (I think it was like $4 per hour or less.) They have full jacks and hoists, all the tools you'd ever need, and qualified mechanics on staff for friendly advice when you need it. I spent a lot of my off duty time in there.

I have no regrets whatsoever for having served, and I miss it often. Remember that if you do go in, the most important thing to do is to have fun with everything you do. Play the game and make it fun. Personally I thought that Basic and AIT was a blast!

Oh boy, seems that i should quit complaining. I do have a job, so does my wife. Cars are running fine. And I keep making debts (mainly with my wife) to afford goodies...
Guys, I can't really help you out from overhere. But the economy isn't going to wake up if you're (well, not you but the governement) gonna start blaming others for their mistakes... I guess you should get rid of Bush, not make war against Iraq, and use the saved money to create jobs for all those people who want to work, but can't find a job.
Keep strong anyway,

We army and ex-army types have already chimed in on the pros/cons of earning coin through service to your country National Guard seems to be a good way to 'ease into' it and see if it's for you... some are happy as citizen soldiers, partying during the week and wargames on the weekends
