    Both websites list units/ships, etc. and any crew registered. Maybe some of your shipmates are registered with one of the websites.
    Friend of mine, Gunners Mate, was on the USS Turner Joy, involved with the Tonkin Gulf Incident and he says the attack on his ship didn't happen. It was concocted in Washington,DC to justify stirring up problems in the area, and it worked as we all know.

    I was watching a video by Jim Marrs a while ago and he bright up the Gulf of Tonkin and how LBJ USED IT TO GET Vietnam really going. There is so #### much information available these days. It is amazing that some people still trust government.

    warning - that bus ticket isnt free! before jumping into the $10k training contract for hire that many (myself included) fall victim to, I highly suggest contacting a local workforce center for possible federal grant funding to get the same education without the contractual obligation to a company.

    Like everything else that costs there is absolutely nothing left out when the final bill is totaled up.

    USXpress pays .40cpm for solo. That may require hazmat but that's what my husband was offered and he has his hazmat endorsement & 1 yr experience.

    Please DO NOT go to US Xpress!!! They are a joke of a company and so is JB Hunt! There are better companies out there willing to pay you.. My 2 youngest kids' dad works for USX right now and we are not even making ends meet.. He's working 70 hrs a week and bringing home $400-500 a week. and that's not taking the per diem pay that they say u can make more money with.. BS!!!! he's making 41 cpm with over 30 years exp... but maybe getting 1000-1500 miles a week!
