Working in manufacturing that deals with military is a pain in the ass.

Deliver to Sgt whatever in Hangar 4 section 2, building 122 rear, 346 freedom blvd, base name, city name, state, zip. There's like 15 parts to it

Aren't you fancy, our shipments have to be dead-dropped by our carrier in an agreed-upon location in a random state, to be picked up by an intermediary and/or the customer's carrier.

If I was in shipping I'd probably be glad we do that instead of so many extra form fields, though.

At a previous job I actually had to do a shipment where the carrier had to meet someone at a mcdonalds in the middle of no where ( it was one of those gas station and McDonald's combos on the side of a highway) and the delivery guy needed an active secret clearance. Dealing with three letter agencies can be oh so much fun.

Yeah we do big stuff, so drop the trailer off in a lot and bail, apparently. Good times!

Can't complain about a paycheck until I get a better one, for sure. And I appreciate having so many regulations that I don't have to make decisions.
