Cheers people,

 

22 days before my fire contract starts - I get tasked with a "TSA background/security clearance" obligation. Got to be completed within 14 days or the computer dumps your file.

 

So, I went to the web site, started the "process" - and hit a WALL. It's the most f*cked up survey I've ever seen! Instead of being user friendly - it's set up for geeks/nerds. You can't list your employers and the years you worked - you have to fill in EACH employment period by who you worked for, what you did, and why you got laid off. WTF!! I've f*cked with this site for TWO days - and I'm NO closer to getting through it than when I started!

 

I've flown 43 years - with 14,000+ hrs, and I'm about to put them in my pocket,walk away and say "f**k You" and get a job at WallyWorld as a "Greeter". At least there, within 5 years - I'll be an assistant manager or better. Here in the "fire industry" - I'm religated to what the .gov decides I'm worth.

 

I've HAD it!!! Keep this post available to you - there's probably going to be a 212 opening really SOON! Mine.

Had to play that game back when I started flight training. Love the way out in the middle of nowhere fighting a fire you have to prove you are not a security risk! What is this world coming to?

That's what you get when you put people with no qualifications whatsoever other than political loyalty in charge of things.

Well said, Gomer.

I can't even get that far. After a year of trying to get to the web site I still can't get a response from Imanuel. I guess they will have to come out to Nevada and frisk me there.
