XSAS, sorry for the delay - I'm stationed in sunny Jacksonville, FL. I do a bit of everything with the Coast Guard, facility and boat inspections, environmental protection, port safety and security, enforcement of safety and security zones, and supervising about fifteen petty officers doing the same stuff.
It is an amazing job, and I recommend it to everyone I talk to. I'm still blown away that people are crazy enough to pay me to do this - heck, I'd do it for FREE!!

I always find when people discuss their jobs that many are very interesting.. I would love to hear your perks.. and imagine being responsible for other people's holidays.. you must get a lot of hassle. I remember the Micheal J Fox movie when he played a concierge.
[right][snapback]670195[/snapback][/right]
Well the best perks are the rates I receive. I can stay in a 5 diamond property at around $59 a night and I also receive half price on the food. On top of that the benefits are amazing and they match what I put into my pension 100% (I'm only 21 mind you and have a pension). I've been able to make some good contacts in differant areas as well. The pay I make is ridiculus... especially since I use to make $8 an hour and I though that was a lot.. god was I wrong...
I don't normally receive to much hassle but it has happened from time to time where the hotels didn't follow through with what they said they would do and it falls back on me... but I normally just compensate in another way (I'm quite comfortable with empowerment)...
Where I work specifaccly is also a nice and organized place, we have dinners catered to us a few times a year, special gifts (last week I got a free oil change and alignment as a gift... it's about a $90 value... at Christmas I received $100 worth of Spa products and so on...

Excellent and I heard those doors can be pretty tricky to deal with unlike the Radars and Sonars.

No idea. I haven't looked into anything yet. Though I have my doubts about something like that here. Stuff like that doesn't seem to be in high demand here. I could look into it, though.

I've had guys say they were gonna double my salary for helping them out (too bad they were joking).... others tend to just leave me there address and # incase I'm in the area and I want to go for a drink or something (or course I'd feel like an idiot though knocking on someones dooor I don't know just to ask if they want to go for a drink... most of these guys are judges, lawyers, doctors, etc.... they don't know I'm only 21 and just out of college....)

Nope, but a good guess. Promoting a healthy and active community. Starting with the kids and moving outward to the rest of the community.
