    Most promoters likely don't have life insurance or a retirement plan unless they have a day job or own a successful business. Most of my life I didn't have health insurance because it wasn't offered or I was self employed.

      They are in the same boat as lots of other underemployed Americans.

        That sounds almost like being an E1 in the military.

              You don’t need health insurance. Why if you got a broken leg a bullet wound big gash in your forehead just take some Motrin and drink water. Change your socks too.

              The vets will get that...

                Bloomquist isn't going to let anyone turn a wrench. False advertising I would say. What they want is a grunt, do what your told, when your told and nothing else. Oh and we can rent you a bed, LMAO.

                  You know, when I was about 18 I would have jumped on that. Looks like the less experience, the better. The Army don’t run without the private. The difference is that the Army owns your butt.

                    Rocky bloomer should have army for a sponsor. I don't see the difference. Bunk bed and all.

                      There is a very large apartment/living area in the shop that is very different from an army barrack.
                      Sorry to bust up your comedy on the subject of renting a bunk bed!

                        So much the better. There’s actually some pretty nice barracks these days. It’s not all splinter village at Fort Bragg. I was thinking a cot directly in the back of the work area would be how I would do it. If I was able to take a 80 percent pay cut, I would do it. I only have 18 months left of my current gig. On my application I would say:

                        Every answer ends with sir. Everything I knew before stops when I walk in the door. I have no ideas of my own and I am not really there to learn as much as follow orders exactly as instructed. I will be there 30 minutes before work starts every day and I have no problem working 12 hours sometimes more 6 or 7 days a week.

                        However.... $400 or so a week even on top of my pension won’t quite cut it.

                          12 hours ?? Lol lol lol lol try 18 or 20 and then sometimes you have to work 2 straight days without sleeping if someone is pre occupied by more important stuff lol 100+ hours is average , and you can forget 400 a week and you can forget being paid every week also , the weeks you don’t get paid are never paid back either. It’s a dream job !!

                            If you work 35 years to build your brand and agree to give half of it away for a minor cash infusion you had to have made a lot of poor choices along the way ...

                                I can see how my demands are ridiculous. I must be with the Union or something. Lol.
