Military Industrial Complex

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
L3|D.P. Associates asked me to sign the forms to begin a background check. If that clears and I pee in a cup, they will make me an offer to do something photoshopy for the Navy to train someone to do something. This will last about a year, they claim.

Couldn't ask for a better gig in a pinch. Wish I had one.

MrGoodson2 said...

Congratulations. Forgot to say that.

Go into it thinking a year ahead. Try to come out with a killer portfolio- or several portfolios- aimed at what you want to be doing.

That's the rub, isn't it?

JMG said...

How the hell did that happen? I applied with them several times on the Navy gigs....no response back

Photoshopy is good! Better than lifting 50 lbs. bags of whatnot.

I worked with the lead artist in 2004-6 when I worked for the subcontractor for the helicopter contract L3 had. Then I worked with him again in 2011-1013 when I got a job at L3 and worked at the horse barn in North Island. L3 has had a bunch of ads come up on different jobsite email alerts, but they have no basis in any current contract. It must be something the jobsites are doing or part of an internal personnel job promotion.

Well, if there is any more openings. I could use a good word

Need to get back to DOD work

You do a nice Pacino-Montag hybrid.

Tom Moon said...

Great Pacino caricature Ben, and congratulations on the job.

Davis Chino said...

Congrats on the job, Ben! Dude, that is such good news. I am sure some sympathetic soul at the NSA intercepted yr Jimbo's post from last week and passed the word along!

Really fun Pacino. That line was the best part of that movie, no? I remember seeing that in a packed La Jolla Village 4 movie theater...we were seated in the middle of our row. Halfway thru I had to take a whiz bad. Excusing my way over the feet and knees of 20 fellow patrons was so traumatic...I couldn't psyche myself up to run the gauntlet to get back, so I watched the rest of the movie from the wings, flummoxing my then-girlfriend something fierce (you can imagine,, can't you?). She thought I'd been abducted.
