F-111Nut, I don't think you've broken any forum rules - the main thing that irks me is when people don't even acknowledge there are rules. Obviously that wasn't your approach, it looks to me like your trying to be sensitive to the etiquette here.
Anyways, I can't say I'm hiring :rolleyes:, but I wish you the best of luck finding something. I went to A&P school myself, way back in the day. Move to Wichita, Kansas and I'm pretty sure you'd find a job there. ;) But I know, you don't want to relocate.
Good luck!

Thanks.. i have looked in to that befor.. i just dont want to move right now.. it seams every time i move to a place with a new job with in 6 months to a year they have a layoff or shut down..even the big players have been doing it,Boeing Grumman.and Airlines to..just seams there is no stability in Aviation anymore. i remmber when i dad work for Lockheed. he put in 30+ years with them..now you lucky if you can get 5 years with anyone it seams.. I love aircraft.. love working with them.. its hard to think about doing anything other then working on them..I got in to this when i was 22 years old just turn 34 this year and well still have not work anywhere more then 2 years.. I would go back in to working on Gen aircraft( light cessna and Beech) but insurance now adays it so high unless you got realy deep pokets it hard to do that.. anyways i am doing nothing but babbleing on.. but thanks for the info.. i may just look at some new way to Go with a career a new feild or something to get in to.. geting to old to keep jumping from place to place

F-111,
Not sure where you are in Missippi, but Aurora Flight Sciences just opened a new manufacturing facility in Starkville, MS. You can get more info from their website www.aurora.aero
Also you could try Northrop Grumman's new Unmanned Systems Center in Moss Point, MS where they put together the Fire Scout UAV.
Good Luck!

Thanks.. Aurora is the place the let us Go there in Starkville.. they dont have enuff work going on..I am not going to say what i realy think of them on this Form.. i was with them for over a year as a QA with a program They pissed over and lost.. they have alot of good ideas but Never see anything threw.. the few guys that are still there in Starkville just build Models.Other guys i know up in VA at the other shop are realy not happy with the way things are being done. the ones that i still talk to form time to time here in Mississippi are not happy with things they feel that they are just there being used so that Aurora can get Gov money from our state here.. I busted my Butt from them and put my hart and sole in that program and they just sead Oh Sorry..and my self and others where let go.. Sorry guys.. i blow my top about Aurora. was a realy good crew working there. just feel like i wasted time there just to be cut lose like that.. SOrry i just have bad feeling when it come to Aurora Fight Sic..
Northrop Grumman's new Unmanned Systems Center in Moss Point, i knew they have something going on there just havent seen much info on it or if there are any openings..
