This past week I gave up retirement to take a part time job here; https://www.mcmillersportscenter.com/ as a range safety officer.
Will be working 8am - 5pm Wed. - Fri. and as a fill in on the weekends when needed.
When I interviewed was asked if I had any questions and couldn't think of any until I was half way home and it struck me I didn't even ask what they were going to pay me! Or what the benefits were as I was just excited to be offered the job. The pay is acceptable and the bennies are very good. Free range time, free FFL transfers, big discounts on merchandise and 15% over cost on any new firearms which also covers shipping and taxes.
So I started on Wed. and that was the first time I've worked in 5 years. Was a very long day indeed. A lot to learn and a lot to remember. Also learned that all the RSO's are part time with the exception of out boss and the Manager and it is a nice mix of young guys and retreads like me.
The first two days I spent on the 100yd range and then yesterday I was on the 25yd range which is the pistol and sight-in range and we were packed the whole day. So far everyone I have had contact with has been very pleasant. Co-workers and patrons alike.
I think I'm going to enjoy this gig!
