What's your job?

I'm SO curious to know what people do away from the screens!

What do you do for work? I'm a preschool teacher and work with kids before and after school. I feel like looking at me you would never guess that I teach. Many people think I'm in the fashion industry which is a total compliment, but it's not the truth. So what do you do?

I stare at screens at work too xD

My job is at a manufacturing facility, but specifically to look up in our system to figure out where orders currently are/supposed to be.

^Heliko, what processes does your facility employ. Any Injection Moulding/CNC/Die Casting? ?

11b. we just train all the time and when we aren't training we're doing manual labor or other menial tasks that need done. Mainly basic preventative maintenance of tactical vehicles, cleaning or moving/carrying heavy stuff around for POGs and officers. When we train, we either go to the field for simulated missions (force on force with sim-rounds or live fires with targets) or we go to a range for marksmanship. Other than that, we have physical training every morning where we either run or lift and some squads like mine have mandatory two-a-days in the afternoon as well. Then we have all kinds of tests that we do every so many months, such as combat fitness tests or rifle qualifications. When there's no training to do and no work left to be done, they make more, such as weapons maintenance or finding some sort of admin work/paperwork that you didn't actually need to do until like 4 months later and will probably have to do over when that time comes anyways. If you're lucky, they'll send you to a class to get a certification, like combat lifesaver (basically medical training for grunts) or a call-for-fire class (how to call for mortars).

I totally get that people often assume you're in a completely different field just by looking at you. I work in healthcare, specifically as a phlebotomist, and even though it's a pretty important job, it’s not something people typically think of when they meet me. If you’re interested in getting certified, it's actually fairly straightforward and can open up a lot of doors in the healthcare field. There’s a detailed guide on how to get certified here - https://phlebotomynearyou.com/ - if you want to explore it.
