GS14 for G6 USMC III MEF
Whats up with all you phone guy's ?
I work for Qwest and it SUCKS .
First, I salute all who served, in peace and conflict. I never completed joining, as the VN truce was declared just as I was scheduled to take the medical to join an USAF F104 Starfighter Pilot training program straight out of Aero Eng school at Western Michigan Univ. Hell, there was a glut of USAF pilots at that point, and I sure didn't want to get stuck on latrine duty for 4 years.
I was on the first plane to Japan after 9/11 to upgrade the telecom infrastructure on the Marine Corps bases and air stations on Okinawa and Iwakuni. Kinda neat to be buddies with Colonels, and meet 1-3 stars with a hand shake week in and week out. Just a civvy, but enjoyed the heck out of being an insider outsider. I spent a lot of time working for the Pentagon b4 that, Secret Service, Executive offices of the pres, State Dept among others. Fiber optics was deployed for Government security originally you know, and I happened to have a leg up on the installation of it in the dawn of the fiber age. Bell was taking too long to get it done, so the gov broke up the monopoly to get the good old competition system working and get the technology rolling and get the stuff in the ground. Hence, we have what is the modern telecom world today.
I've been in Telecom since 1984, (blasted my first hole in bedrock to set power utility poles for daddy in '72) first as an entrepeneur, and then in 1999 started working for companies like XO, Espire/Xspedius, General Dynamics NT, now AboveNet Communications. I have seen big companies dump their service contracts since Verizon took over MCI. THey used to love MCI, and I don't think I've heard ANYBODY say anything good about Verizon Business. Their service and support just SUCKS the big one, period. Level 3 swallowed up as many little telecoms as they could, but they ran out of money to keep eating. THey are very difficult to work with, unless you have friends on the inside. Same with Qwest. We have been having problems with getting them to cooperate as well.
