I've heard the "much more" part is pretty awesome for your ammo budget...

Too bad I lack the 1 year job experience. (And a job that I would be hard pressed to leave, like a job that has ammo discounts)

Do you have one year of on the job experience in a manufacturing setting? lots of former car mechanics, machinists, welders, assemblers ect. You do not need to know reloading (but it is a bonus). Looking for candidates with strong mechanical backgrounds.

[Stradawhovious]

If I didn't already have a kick ass job, I would be all over this.

I mean ALL OVER IT.

From what I hear, it would have the BEST FRINGE BENEFITS EVER.

Maybe I could get Tickled Pink to apply....

GOSH, you don't say!

Apply anyways. Oil Change and parts experience beyoch may be enough. Toss together an resume, lean heavily on intrest in the shooting sports. worst thing that happens is not getting a call...

[theskalickys]

Thanks for this, I put in my application..

Although it does say 1-year experience internal 3-years experience external..
Can't hurt to put in the application.

Any need for sales and marketing talent?

[photogpat]

^This. It's been quiet as of late, but when they hire, there are usually multiple positions posted at a time.

[NiftyXD]

Hmmm...I live a ways away but I'd be interested in this. I have 8 years of machine operating/fixing experience, but I'm almost done with my Business degree, too. Does Federal have any upward "movement" or ability to grow?
