Ha hah I should've clarified. I meant to ask what color is your tC?
Well at the last 45 minutes of my 12 hour work day today, I was called into the office and was let go from work. Although I had intentions of leaving once I found a job on the island, I didn't expect to be laid off on my birthday. I turned 33 today. I know this is a blessing in disguise as this will be my push to be more aggressive in job hunting. But I have a heavy feeling in my chest due to the unknown. Like, will I find a job quickly? How about my new born son's medical needs? Luckily I received severance pay and my company paid for my medical until the end of November.
The good side to this is now I know how soon I can move and also get to meet the folks of the Island Scion crew.
PS. Please can someone give me a lead on how to view jobs on the island and where I can find information about the C.O.L.A. if there is one for the island? Thank you.

Yeah I was referring to the Cost Of Living Allowance. I just heard it from my wife's aunt who lives on the island. But her husband is retired Navy also. I was going for the cement color but ended getting the Super White since that was the only manual tC in the Phoenix area at the time.

So I received a call about trying to set up an interview for a part time seasonal position at the NEX however they only wanted to do in person interviews. So the wife and I talked about it and are doing what's necessary for me to get there. I should find out next week if we get approved for the apartment we're applying for. If that's a go the so will I within 2 weeks if all goes well. I'm excited but will be missing the wife and kids very much. Especially the newborn who I always look for first thing when waking up. I hope getting local will help me get a job on the island. Especially the NEX.

Thank you. Its gonna be a lil rough. I know all Navy personnel who have families always have to leave them behind for duty. But I think that's going to be the toughest thing is leaving my newborn behind even if its only a month and a half compared to your guys' six to eight months.

So I'll be moving to Oak Harbor-ish area once I get offered a job. I was wondering if it's really necessary to have studded snow tires for the area. I'm worried because for one I've never touched or driven through snow. I'm originally from San Jose Ca. and have been living in AZ for the past 8 years. Any advice to a snow newbie?
My job is looking for people that are enthusiastic to learn and a hard worker.
It is aerospace machinist job.

Dustin is correct. I'm currently in Glendale Arizona. Hmmm that sounds interesting Soul Reaper. I have worked on numerous industries and backgrounds and am always willing to learn new things. I want to live life not just survive it. That's why I stay hungry. Can you tell me more about the job?
Just counting down the days. Getting serious about packing. Can't forget the He-Man collection.

Hey Soul-Reaper, Can you give me anymore information about the job or jobs you're talking about?
Everything is almost packed up. Getting the truck on Saturday and starting the drive on Monday with my brother. I should have everything unloaded into the apartment by Friday. Excited and scared at the same time. This isn't the first time I've picked up and moved. But, there's always a risk involved. I hope this works out for the best.

I'm officially on the island but am working on getting settled in. Hope to meet some scion locals soon. My car needs a rinse bad. All that road crap from four states takes a toll on the car.
