Ya he was in the Navy for four years and probably did play D&D, though I think it was mostly his friend hounding the bosses until they finally said yes. Oddly enough he was never a video-gamer, which would probably best qualify you for that job...

Funny, that's how he got the job. A buddy of his is an A&P for Gen Atomics and got his bosses to look at his resume. (Which wasn't much. Private Pilot and about 150 hours.)

CA NG?

That should be the one. My friend said it's the only crash since he's been there. He got the job flying predators with only a private and now he's about to do a six month stint in Iraq.

Thanks. I've never taken any anti-depressants or anything I just happened to have read that article just a minute before I saw this thread.
