Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you are better off now than 4 years ago….

Not age wise.

x2.

Doing much better than I was 4 years ago. Everyone I know is too.

So you got the jab AND you voted/are voting for Biden?

Financially way better off.


I didn’t get the jab even though T rump said to.


Operation warp speed and all.

Ain't as good as you once was, but as good once, as you ever was?

The older I get, the better I was.

Less so mostly due to inflation. Fuel costs have us really cutting back on travel.

Is this directed to me?

IF so I'll take a stab at explaining.

I worked for the army's lessons learned organization. One of the conditions in our position descriptions for analysts beside the normal security clearance requirements is to remain in a "deployable status" IAW with state department and joint travel regulations. Pretty black and white, cut and dry. You met the standard which included physical abilities, immunizations etc. or you didn't. IF you didn't you failed to meet the conditions for employment. Everybody in my section and the organization as a whole for the most part must remain deployable, it's part of the job. IF you're not for whatever reason, and a mission comes down someone will take your place.. period.

During this period for instance I traveled to; Korea, Armenia, Germany (2), Bosnia and the UKR. All of which at that time had immunization and testing requirements. Had I been non-deployable, someone would have had to take my place. Previously I had travelled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo etc.

At the time I was a GS13 supervisor in charge of our organizations future ops section, responsible for planning large scale collections for contingency operations and exercises. I had 12 employees in my branch, two of which were an army captain and an sergeant First class along with a small IT section and 3 GS12 "planners". Luckily none of my folks refused the "jab", so it was a non issue in my branch. To my knowledge none have had health issues.

Had they refused, I would have processed them for elimination. Because it was my job, and due to a twisted sense of fairness. In our organization of approximately 95 pax, we had one analyst refuse the vaccine and he resigned prior to being removed.

Is the worst so called president of USA in my lifetime

He can go pound sand

I would really like to tell him that to his face

Or else you are a politician.

Way better off. Rent has increased so making more there, biggest pay raise since the 80's, stocks, 401's, etc all past where I thought they would be.

Hunt and fish all I want in 5-6 states a year. Have at least 8-10 weeks off paid, plus holidays.

I hope the next 4 years are as good as the past 4.

Must be nice

You should STFU about that deal.

The actual producers get a little annoyed with your 'career' stats.

Four years ago I had been diagnosed with cancer , today I am cancer free. So in those respects I am better off..............

It's not all upside, I haven't taken a summer vacation in 25 years. Falls are pretty awesome though.

Sounds similar to my Teamster benifits
