I've got it made. I live 3 miles from the Walmart warehouse in new Caney. I'm in porter. Pretty good place to live. Housing has gone up the last 9 years as usual. But, I live in a neghborhood that is decent with no one tripping on my shop I built. I'm quick access to 99, which is right between 45 and 59. Not sure if I could be more pleased.

The warehouse loves to hire veterans as well. Pm me if you want some details. They start at 16$ an hour for regular jobs and maintenance is 21.15$ an hr starting out.

Refinery/plant jobs pay good and a lot of them like to hire ex military. Pasadena, Laporte, Deer Park, Baytown are close to the plants.

Damn near impossible to walk on though. You generally need to know someone.

It is difficult to get on, mainly because so many people are trying to get on. I know quite a few guys I work with didn't know anyone.

They like you to have one of three things. Preferably more than one. I think some even require more than one.

Experience
Degree
Military

And not necessarily in that order

What kind of job and what's your experience?


You'd be surprised how many small business owners are on this forum.

We are always hiring, and our assembly line supervisors are almost all x military. Unfortunately we don't pay nearly as much as oil field

gixer600

oil field was another interest But,i was under the impression they were letting people go??

Oil field may not be the best place to look right now, but petrochemical plants are still hiring. I'm 3 weeks from graduating with my degree in Process Technology and that's a healthy six figure job, though as others said, extremely difficult to get into. They can and do hire people with just military experience, though they almost all want your MOS to have been technical in nature in some regard, but I don't know how much they really care about that or not.

It wouldn't hurt to apply for operations jobs as you see them.

thank you Snipez i'll look into it aswell..

I'm in Kingwood. Huge trees, great schools. But...pain in the *** HOA's and whole "Kingwood Bubble". The damn KWHS parking lot looks like something from River Oaks. But there's a ton of old car guys here, and the commute to downtown is the best around. F 45 and F that toll road. 59 is 80MPH in the morning.
