Nightforce Optics -- Josh’s Job.

The job that Josh was wanting to get outside of the military life, was a job at Nightforce Optics. They make scopes for military guns, mainly the Navy Seals, Cabelas, and many other dealers. These scopes are used in the war in Iraq, for military guns in general for sniper shooting mainly, and competed shooting. These scopes are $3,000 each. Josh can buy one for $900 since he works there. They also are branched off another company called “Lightforce” which is located in Australia. My aunt works there as well and bought a scope already for her husband, and a flash light for my grandpa, which are normally $70 but, again, Josh can buy it for $25. I’m very proud that Josh has found something he loves, he hated working at the mill doing all the machanicing for it to get running, but honestly that isn’t a job for, forever. At Nightforce Optics our family has very good health, dental insurance. Josh is 100% free, but we have to pay for Addyson and I. He can work 4 days 10 hours each like me, or work Fridays for overtime which are only eight hour days. He works overtime usually, but they get a lot of vacation time during holidays. It’s nice having a husband who is around more than he was. Nightforce has a Chirstmas Party. It’s held at this nice hotel along the Clearwater River, called “The Edge.” Josh and I are getting a room, and going to enjoy a night with out a screaming toddler. I never really like to do anything without Addyson, but she can’t come to this. I never got to attend the military Christmas party, so this is my first event where its for my husbands job. Good news! Josh works in the machine shop, which you usually have to go to school to run these machines, but they are so impressed with Josh’s work that they are training him to do what they do, instead of being a laborer, which that just powder coats the scope parts, so it was awesome to hear how much the bosses like Josh’s work. Josh is feeling a little under pressure, because there is a lot of math involved, and programming, and Josh isn’t a computer person, so he is very nervous but pretty happy.
