Love your avatar. Looks like things may get better with steel in Canada again.

Wow you've really come a long way my friend. From saving for 10 years to afford your first Rolex, to finding a second income stream:

Wanted to ask if someone knows the correct number of links it should come with. Thanks!!

Army Logistics Officer.

Technically, I have two jobs, since I'm in the National Guard. First (full-time), I manage a logistics division in the state headquarters; about 30 people and oversee equipment distribution, shipping/receiving, transportation, and the purchase/distribution of several other supply categories.

Second job, I'm the logistics planner (Support Operations Officer, or SPO) for a log battalion. I've got 15 people that manage resource allocation, requisition, and distribution of fuel, food, ammunition, and maintenance parts, as well as transportation around the battlefield. We are getting deployed in January.

Did ROTC in college, commissioned at the end, right before the Iraq surge. Spent some years on active duty deployed, learning the basics, then came to the National Guard to be closer to my then-girlfriend/now-wife. Spent a few months unemployed trying to find work during the Great Recession (a Poli Sci and German degree wasn't very useful at the time... still isn't!). Decided to try for a full-time job with the NG, got picked up and haven't looked back in 10 years. I love what I do, but it can be a grind, some days...

Dude, we must be on the same wavelength today, because I almost posted (earlier) that I was the Assistant (to the) Regional Manager.... Jesus. This, plus your Christmas Movie list...? Do you have an opening for a new best friend?
