Hi Tracy,
Malstrom is the only military base in Montana. And I am looking at Federal and State for jobs. And you are correct about the benefits can't be beat. >:)

>I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you great luck in your search! Is there a military base near you? You should qualify for points based on your military service to apply for a job on base if that would interest you. I worked as a network manager and programmer on a military base for 7 years after I left the military. There all types of jobs and the benefits can't be beat. It would be something to keep you going while your job search in your choice field is ongoing and you continue your learning curve in Java...

>>Hi All,
>>
>> The downturn has finally hit Montana. I was minding my work and getting a release out, when I was told that I was being laid off. Dang, I was with the company for almost 13 yrs. I am now working on updating my resume and putting in for unemployment.
>> I am not hopeful for an other VFP job, so I am continuing my training (self-taught) on Java and other languages as I search for my next job.
>>
>> It is weird, because this is only the 2nd job - 1st civilian job - that I have ever had, so I am learning what I need to do to file for unemployment and have to figure out interviews and cover letters again. My first job was the Military, and I am a retired reserve now, which means I will have a retirement when/if I make it to 60-65. :)
>>
>> So, I will not be on as much as I have been, and I may pop up in the SQL server area more. :)
>>
>>Have a Happy Holiday everyone.
>>Beth
