Todd and Rachel, I know what you are going thru and I hope the best for you. I am a clinical support person for a medical device company and at the end of there year they did a 10% cut back and I was one of them. That was back at the fist of October and I am just about to sign on with a new company this month. So it will get but it might suck a little before it does.

Sorry to hear it, but a change of course can be more exciting and fufilling than your original plan. Best wishes and don't worry. I would be totally screwed if success required job security.

Todd, I'm terribly sorry to hear of the terrible news. I'm sure that if you two keep your heads up and your resumes out there that good things will come your way in no time. I know the job market can be no worse than it is here in Michigan. I wish you two the best and us brothers are always here to help. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.

Oh man, that totally sucks! Sorry to hear about it, it is such a royal pain when you have the financial rug pulled out from under you. Even though you have defense background, don't rule out a job in the private, or public sector. Best of luck to you and Rachel, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Sorry to hear that Waschers'..... or should i say Mr. & Mrs. JONES!!!

Double agents working for the gov on a secret contract?!?!?! Except Todd is no Brad Pitt.

Honestly I hope everything works out for you guys. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. Something will come along.

Guys, that just sucks, but it sounds as though you both have maintained positive attitudes about the situation.

I'll be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers. Stay upbeat and you'll see what new avenues this opens.

I know you said your not moving Todd........BUT......Colorado Springs is huge in the defense industry?????????:rofl:
Right on! We've got Norad and Schriever and some other stuff too I think...

Sorry to hear about the layoffs, Todd... Especially since it was both of you. I can't really give you any advice, seeing as how I've never even had a permanent job and am like half your age :tongueout, but I'm sure everything will work out for you guys.
