Do you know what goes into getting a Top Secret Cryptographic Clearance. I do. I'm pretty sure Bobbe's son holds a Top Secret clearance right now. As do a number of men, and women in the military. If I'm not mistaken that worthless worm Willam Arkin held one at one time too. Now that scares me.

Not bad for a former hourly who started as a CP in DAK and then CM at CBR front desk. So while I agree it is not the norm ... it can happen!

But she hung on and was sometimes just the right person in the right place at the right time. Yeah - I am very proud of her.
Originally Posted By GalDisney I am a CM. have been for 2 yrs. I work a front line role. I started part time. I recently went full time. I am earning a good salary of course i have to work over time to do it. In this economy and especialy FL i am darn glad to have the ft job which includes benefits! My managers are a great bunch of people contrary to what other people hear have written that Disney management treats CM like crud. It is not true. People i have started with have moved on to higher paying roles so it is possible.
