        I'm in the healthcare field.

        I'm a college student.

        I shoot up to 6 different calibers, at least twice a week, and I'm picking up a 7th.

        yeah.

        I'm broke.

          Official title: Weapons Load Crew Chief.

          I work until the job is done, but am unallowed to work on munitions past 12 hours. I wear dirty BDU's cause my landlord gets pissed when I do laundry during the only time of day I have off. My work environment is one of the loudest, hottest, most hazardous places of work this side of the american border. Several of the guys from the shop have played paintball and enjoy it, however we rarely get to go play as "beatings will continue until morale improve" or so the mantra goes... I find that playing paintball is highly therapudic and relaxing activity in comparision to my day to day existance. I suppose its is like that with everybody.

          I convince myself that I like my job.

                  Yeah, computer junkie by day.

                  If there wasn't paintball, there would still be Hockey, just more of it.
                  I went like this :shooting:
                  He went like this :tard: then like this :wow: then like this :cry:
                  Now he shoots a Mag too...

                    I'm a referee at Boston Paintball, one of the largest paintball companies in new england (actually I think it is). I just got hired last month, and havent worked that much, but I know I was made for this job. Its not too hard, aside from yelling, paying attention to people's mistakes and standing for 5+ hours.

                    I'm a Junior in Highschool, and am an active participant in my school's ROTC unit. I hold the rank of cadet staff segeant, and am the head armorer/weapons maintainance NCO. Basicly I take care of the Drill equipment, mainly the rifles. I teach the drill team how to not **** up my rifles, and I'm in the process of restoring 19 walnut stocks, and upper and lower handguards.

                    I'm enlisting in the Marine Corps in two more years (damn they're going by fast). My goal is to be a small arms technician (gunsmith), but I'll do whatever the corps wants me to do wherever they see me best fit. I want to fight for my country becuase I feel I owe it to the guys out there who for 200 years fought and died for me. Plus, I feel like my country really needs me right now, since the majority of america seems to be anti-government, anti-military, anti-everything but they don't realise that the things they oppose are things that are necessities..

                    I seem ot be rambling.

                    I'm just your average 16 year old gung ho wannabie marine.

                      I'm an ECG Technician, and a Hardware guy.

                      In case you don't know ECG's are heart tracings. It's fun because I get to work in an emergency room and see lots of fun stuff. I love medicine.

                      I also work at Maier Hardware, a local hardware store that just happens to stock paintball . I like this job too because I basically learn how to fix everything in a house.

                      I pretty much get no days off, and work 20 hour shifts way too often, but at least I'm having fun, and paintball is worth not getting sleep.

                        Spent one year at the University of Maine. Hate the system. Waste of time and money.
                        If you want to do something you should concentrate on that. Not a college full of crap.

                        I'm leaving for the New England Culinary Institute in 4 days. For 9 months I will have a 40 hour a week of classwork, plus studying. After that I will be doing a 6 month internship someplace in the states. Once I'm done with that I'll be getting my AOS. After that I return to NECI for 6 months of even more intense work, and another 6 month internship this time outside of the states. I'll get my bachelors out of this.

                        Before you can even pass you have to plan out a complete restaurant (floor plan, menu, etc). It must be aprooved by a contracter and bank/lawyer.

                        So basically, in 27 months I will have all the skills nessessary to open my own restaurant. I will also have all the work done to get a loan and hire a contractor to build.

                        I'll probably just try to find a job as a manager someplace before I open my own place for a while. But Restaurant management it will be.

                        So for the next two years I'll have pretty much no life working my butt off.

                            im a highschool sophmore thats on a contending team for the Illinois State High School Soccer title. Last year we lost to the team who won in a shoot out. Props to ne one who guesses my school/team's name . That really rules my life even more than pbing. i wish it were the other way round, but soccer is free paintball is expensive. Especially someone with a seasonal job.

                              I am a 5th grade teacher in Escondido CA. I have taught 4 years now and love it. Form time to time I get to shoot some of my students at the local paintball field which is so fun. My wife is also a teacher in Escondido, so we have the exact work schedule, which makes vacations great. I also surf at least 4 times a week, play soccer on two team, coed softball with my wife and on a roller hockey team (after seeing that written I think I do too much.) Before teaching I worked at a local surf shop for 10 years and was a semi pro/ pro surfer. I have only been playing paintball for about a year and a half now. My brother (Mandatory) got me a gun for my wedding present and I was hooked.

                                I work at a tribal casino in CT, as a slot attendant. I fill hoppers with coins, pay jackpots, fill ticket printers, clear coin jams, clean up around the slot machines, take abuse from guests because of the beverage department, etc.... Pay is pretty good right now (my hourly rate last week was $23.17/hr), but I've got too many bills to play paintball often.

                                Are you referring to that Williams game with the annoying leprechaun? If so, that's one of the ones I hate the most, too.
