Then they wanted him to take a desk job. He now works for some company that takes care of the fighter jet for Malaysia ( they still have a few F-14 that fly. )
    Tige, it's a way of life!

        I didn't know Malaysia had any F-14s. We sold some to Iran before their last change in government.

          How come I've never met all of you Vegas people? There's two other people I go out with from time to time that are in the Air Force as well.

                I never said I could make it, just trying to help the out of towners find the place . I know I'll catch grief for this one but it was an anniversary night last night so I was a little busy making sure I can still make it on Saturday.

                  I also work in IT, but on the support side, I manage a small technical helpdesk/systems monitoring/communications team for First American Flood Data Services. We provide flood determinations for mortgage companies and we most likely did yours when you bought your house or refinanced.

                    I work in Business Intelligence for the Government. Yeah, I know- an oxymoron.

                    Basically, I make data usable. I'm an Oracle DBA, and I develop reporting applications for consumption in the Texas Dept. of State Health Services and the Texas Dept. of Aging and Disability Services. I'm currently developing a new solution to our reporting needs with Business Objects Enterprise, for approximately 1500 users in the two agencies.

                    Probably heading back to the private sector in the next 6 months.

                            They made the announcement on Monday, but BO is still going to retain a separate identity, and operate under the "SAP Group." I was worried about the whole thing when oracle was trying to acquire them, since that would have restricted them to only oracle as a data source. However, SAP is platform independent, and as such can run on just about any database. Plus, bobjects has been developing SAP solutions for years. Basically, a 1.2 Billion/year company now gets to leverage the resources of a 12.1 Billion/year company. I look at it like Dell acquired Alienware.
