I suppose being in the U.S Army, doing security for the Atlanta Falcon's training camps and nightclubs for 8 years, and working as a correctional officer for Greenville County doesn't qualify but putting that all aside, it really makes no difference other than supply, cost and demand.

If an aerobics instructor like Dana White can run the most powerful MMA organization, then I suppose a fellow like me can pick up some dollars.

why did you quit the corrections job? its a good job isnt it?, was it hard to get into it?

Did you seriously make that stretch of "if he can do this, I can do that"?? Wow...

After a string of second place finishes in bodybuilding you should try and achieve the same in MMA

Don't even try....you see even if the Fertitta brothers came on here and were going to give Vince some advice on how to be successful, he would shirk the advice off because Vince knows better. Who are they to come to Vince's world and tell him what he should or shouldn't do.

It only paid 10.91 when I first started. I got a raise 6 months later to 11.15 but I left for a higher paying job in my field. Corrections was more of a transition job to cover my bills when I was laid off from Ikon.

As for the job itself, it was a pain in the ass. Inmates fist fighting over fried chicken and kool-aid, numerous bullshit medical 502's, Greenville City Council always second guessing your decisions, overcrowding, doing inmate extractions, taking down wild inmates, and very unsafe working conditions. You are basically locked up in a pod with about 130 inmates and they are free to walk around. They are not locked behind bars like you see in the movies. At any time, a few of them could have easily banded together and just straight up killed me. One time this inmate grabbed me in a choke hold while I was helping the nurse give meds to the inmates. I got scolded for breaking his arm and his nose after I got that piece of shit off me as his hospital bills were a couple thousand bucks.

Believe me, working in corrections is a bunch of fucking shit thanks to the scumbag politicians. They give them cable TV, nice rooms, etc. Heck, they sometimes actually order out pizza and wings for the inmates on YOUR TAX DOLLARS as well as PPV events !!!! Its ridiculous.....

Vince was in the Army? Vince, where did u do Basic, AIT, and ur first post. What was ur MOS? Respect if u actually were.
D

Went in as an PFC as I had a validation of proficency from ROTC as a cadet major. Did basic at FT Jackson but I was discharged 4 months later due to physical ailments (cleared up since then) so I never completed AIT. My MOS would have been a 31P10 (Microwave Systems Operator). Wasn't discharged under DADT, had a girlfriend at the time as I'm actually bi. Was offered an opportunity in 2002 to return as a Specialist but declined as I had decided to move on. I wanted to make a career out of the military as I spent 4 years training in ROTC but some things just don't go as planned. I feel I made the right decision anyways as eventually DADT would have likely caused my discharge from the Army.

It is what it is....

Thanks, my goal is to mainly push the Title Boxing line because I can get the best wholesale pricing. A lot of people are wanting low priced MMA training equipment as money is tight starting out and I intend to focus on that market.

same as in canada, exept that the corrections officer actually make around 100k a year including the overtime. Plus all the benefits

Well this was in 1999-2000 so I pretty sure the pay is a bit higher now and yes...definitely overtime was a nice thing as there was always a shortage of workers for obvious reasons. We had a weight room and shower in the basement area so it was convenient to get my workout in and go to the next shift

doozejooze · « **Reply #43 on:** December 25, 2011, 08:39:19 AM »

Thats cool Vince, u tried. U get props for that. I spent 5 yrs active duty. Ft Leonardwood (sic) then DLI in Monterrey (arabic) then Goodfellow AFB, Ft Huachuca, and finally Savannah, Georgia. 98 Golf was my MOS (Military Intelligence Arabic linguist)Finished.as.an E-5, then got married and got out. Loved the Army, def a single man's game though. I think everyone should spend sime time in the military. Even if its in a non-armed capacity. My 2 cents. Best of luck 2 you.

It seems that Goodrum is usually about five years late to the peak of a market. Perhaps he'll start selling real estate next.

How about fastfood? Is there a market for that?

because it was a lie just like everything else he s talking about. Dude is an unemployed loser staying at home collecting welfare checks and "running his internet business"

while his "husband" (or wife?) queen vissy goes to work.
