New Job at Ft. Meade

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted an update so I’ll start with my new job.

I’ve been looking for a job close to home for years.  I’ve been applying for jobs as a Federal employee through www.USAJobs.com without any luck for a few years too.  In March/April I applied for a job and waited.  In June I heard back from the government and they asked if I was still interested.  Of course I was and we proceeded with the hiring process.  I started working for the US Army as a civilian on August 15.  I’ve been there about  weeks now and really like it! 

I work with a lot of enlisted soldiers and because me military rank would essentially be a Major, they all call me Mr. Young.  It just seems odd, I am use to referring to people that I work with by their first name and a lot of times when they come into my office, they stand at attention. I am the civilian IT supervisor for a new brigade.  This is where I want to be in my career.  Who knows where is will go, but I am happy in my career for the first time in a long time!
