Theres tons of welding jobs or assistant welding jobs to be had not to mention all the pipeline work and such going on.

    Like Luke said, if he wanted to be a damned pipeline welder's helper... I could get him on for probably 12$ an hour here. 80 hours a week, perdiem too.

    He's mid 50s, thats whats really putting a damper on him finding a job. He's sharp as hell, and still going strong, but gets passed up because of his age.

Go to http://nafjobs.org/ , once there use the drop-down menu in the top right, Scroll down to Tx then choose the base. Saw a couple vehicle operator and General Mechanic jobs on Lackland. Pay isn't great, ($10-$12), but it's something.
    We actually havent even looked at that yet, thanks for the heads up!

    She says they keep it updated well.

    Thanks dude! Sending that over to my dad. He's trying as hard as he can to find something, but people just don't call back. He is more than qualified to do 3/4 of the jobs he applies for. Oh well thats life.
