Nuke operator that can't get a job? Red flag. Care to go into it?

21 yrs ago, he did a B&E after getting out of the service. Clean
record since then, but has a felony on his record. Pretty much the
mark of death to any high security position.

He was all grown up after military service, presumabably able to pick
his pony and take his ride. Service is appreciated but it doesn't
confer a pass for scofflaw criminal conduct.

True enough.

But that doesnt solve his problem, though Im starting to wonder if he
isnt just a bum.

Sounds to me like he's smart enough to solve his own problems. His
situation may be a problem according to your standards but perhaps not
to his. There are 'Nam vets that live as homeless people by choice.

Frankly..if it wernt for the 3 yr old grandson of the gal...Id not
bother with either of them. When I went down to LA this past week, I
slept in my truck rather than my travel trailer, so as not to put the
kid out on the street.

And I had a lady who wanted to go matress dancing with me..and I had no
place to take her. Damnit!!

Got a raincheck though....
