In all honesty, it will be based upon experience.  But hold some faith, becuase the company is very competitive for Los Angeles.

Thanks for all the help folks, the position has been filled.  Got a 6492 out of the USMC, because face the facts, Marine Calibrators are the best!   :wink:

Semper Fi!

I'f I had a dime every time a jarhead said he was the best, I'd be rich.  The proof is in the pudding, not how much you blurt out "we're the best".  LOL

   If I had a dime for every PMEL guy that thinks they are the best, I would have Bill Gates cleaning my house.  :-D

I don't understand. . . How would you being rich make Bill Gates poor enough to have to clean your house?

I'm not too concerned with being "the best" but it would seem that the USAF PMEL were smarter because they never had to spend a night in a foxhole or a tent.   :wink:

Yeah for carpet and fresh cooked meals!  :-D

I have to agree with the person that said Marine Corps calibrators are the best. I have run across a couple that were not in my time but overall the Marine Corps techs maintain a higher level of discipline and continue to work hard and produce better results throughout their careers than the Air Force personel I have had the pleasure to work with. If I had to choose just based on the service the person was in I would choose Marine Corps all the way.

Is there a link that you would like us to upload our resume to?  I looked but didn't see one and I do not feel comfortable uploading it in an open forum.

Thank you,
Jennifer Matta
