  2. We are on the way to SLC, should be interesting. Winter isn't over there yet!, but we have a son in Ogden. Just have to keep the fireplace going. We aren't too excited about anywhere above the Mason-Dixon, unless it's West of the Mississipp, but East of the land of fruits and nuts ( nothing personal, lived there for 5++++ years, but recovered with extensive therapy. Best wishes! John
  3. Hi Bob, Have completed training and all equipment was issued today. I will know Friday the location of our first assignment. Where are you currently assigned? They are tossing out SLC, Montana, Wy, CO as the most urgent needs. Southern Cross would like to hire some additional folks. They just received a new contracts for Rhode Island, and have some pending for Illinois and Missouri. I was assigned to work with 3 different trainers during the 3 weeks. They sure were some good folks and hard workers and committed to ensuring that we learn the process. We enjoyed the 3 weeks in Norcross. Regards
  4. Thanks Bob, the reviews on that park are not great, just wondering about personal experience.
  5. Has anyone ever stayed at Jones RV Park, Norcross, Ga?
  6. DDrew, Look forward to meeting you on 3/4. Have a safe trip. Bob, looks like SCC tries to be flexible. As you say the company is in business for a reason. I get the impression that they will be easy to work with, and my personal thoughts are, I take the job, I'll go where asked, if possible. Looking forward to a lot of different experiences in differing locations. SCC seems like a company I want to work for, not have to. My impression is that it will be a rewarding and very mutually beneficial working relationship. Good Luck on your travels.
  7. A day after the meeting of the minds, and accepting the position, I received information by Fedex that answered all my questions, including RV parks, about making a long term committment to the park, as training assignments can be anywhere in Atlanta area. Training manuals, expectations, processing documents, personnel information, etc. SCC seems to be on top of what they do in terms of personnel processing and customer service. Spent a total of 2+ hours over 2 days, on the phone with Cullen Broome. He is quite a gentleman, seems to really enjoy what he is doing, and it shows. He did not hesitate in answering questions, providing valuable information, etc. I think he is one of those folks you meet, that is never a stranger. Getting a job was not all that important to me, but getting a job that I wanted to do and would enjoy doing was more important. Getting the right company with the right people to work with was even more important. After nine years of not looking, we are kind of excited about taking a new branch in the road. Everything I have read, SCC apppears to be exactly the right match at the right time. I am optimistic for a mutually beneficial relationship that works for both of us. My sons were extremely surprised that I would ever consider going back to work. My DW is still in shock and I may have to take her in for therapy (I see her with a constant smile, not quite sure what to make of it!). Finally, simply, Thank You to everyone on this forum that provided information about SCC, asked questions about SCC, and responded to questions about SCC. All of which peaked my interest in SCC quite awhile back. I just followed the thread postings and got hooked! I would not have known anything about SCC, were it not for this forum! In my humble view, this forum is exceptional in providing invaluable information to others. There may not always be an agreement between the meeting of the minds; but there is always a meeting of the minds. GodSpeed, and safe travels to All! Just Simply, Thank You!
  8. Looks like a done deal! Report for training in Norcross on March 4. I have found 3 possible RV Parks in Commuting distance. Jones, Twin Lakes and Stone Mountain. Anyone have any recommendations on the nicest park out of the three, or any other options. Thanks
  9. Thanks for the response. I understand that the base pay is taxable along with my annuity by the IRS. What I am looking into is - If I work in an income tax state, Utah, Arizona, NM, etc, - Will I have to file an individual tax form for that state and pay a state income tax? OR, if I understand what is being said, Florida as my home of record, legal residence, then no state income tax will be withheld.,,,by SC. Then there is no tax liability for any state where a temporary assignment is completed. Let's say you work an assignment in Utah for 2 months, and make $5,000, Do you have to pay a Utah income tax on that amount? and, would part of an annuity have to be paid to that state? Maybe I am making this more complicated than it really is. Just trying to understand what my tax liability would be if accepting an assignment in a state that taxes income. "Mirada" if I understand what you are saying, then as far as Oasis is concerned, I'm working in Florida, if that is my state of record. Thanks for your input. Bob, I did send you a short PM. Thanks for all the information you have provided through this forum. It is what initially got me interested in SCC. Like you, I have 30+ years military and Federal Service Law Enforcement. After 9 years of playing around, I'm ready to go do something. I don't need any new toys right now, but maybe next year. Thanks again for the time you have taken over that past couple years on this thread to answer questions for everyone.
  10. I have been looking at Southern Cross, reviewing their website, and reading opinions folks have about the company, etc., for over a year. In December, I decided it would be interesting for a variety of reasons. I submitted an application of interest. I didn't hear anything, and assumed they were not interested. However, today, I recieved a call from Mr. Cullin Broome regarding the application I sent. After being retired for almost 9 years, I am seriously considering going to work for Southern Cross, assuming the interest is mutual. Interview, training location, assignments, etc. The only issue I have any concern about at this stage, is state income tax issues when working in an income tax state. I receive a comfortable annuity, and concerned whether it makes sense to work in an income tax state. I am currently a Florida resident (no state income tax). Can anyone recommend a tax preparer that can provide sound advice; And/Or, does anyone else fit into this type of situation?
