    I agree with China town tankers lighter work than flats.
    Anyone who tells me I can't do this or that, I show them otherwise and out work everyone else.
    When I served, I was in Panama, desert storm, Bosnia, and a couple places that are still classified as far as I know. I was hurt in one of the unnamed areas, a blast went off close to me. I was left with blown ear drums, a big rip in my leg, and a tore up lower back. Really it's all about proper body mechanics and mind over matter.
    Best of luck with your decision.
    Prime has tankers and paid training.

    The problem is that the Ada and other laws can only cover you to a certain extent. If there is a liability with your injury that causes you to either cause you to be injured in another way or cause you damage that prevents you from working, then the laws can not be applied.

    Example is if you had a serious back injury that would limit your lifting things that weight say 30 pounds and you apply for a position that will having you lift objects close to 100 pounds, knowing that you can injure yourself because of a previous injury, then that employer doesn't have to offer you that job.

    The Ada was supposed to be limiting but because it is a big business suing, lawyers have caused it and other laws to be stretched to unrealistic means of protection. There is a lawsuit now going on where a blind guy wants to be served at 3 am in the drive through, he is suing under the Ada to be accomidated - this is really the definition of a frivolous lawsuit and should be throw out,

    Does it even have the beautiful river that Subic has? It might be just too close to home if they are alike.
