Service List

New guy checking in.

USAF 1977-1981. SAC FB-111A crew chief
MA Air Guard 1981 - present. F-106A/B, F-15 A/B/C/D crew chief 'til the BRAC hammer falls.....

God Bless all our troops currently in harms way.
 
I can only speak for myself, but I always get a little embarrassed when people say "thanks for your service". It's not that I don't appreciate it, but jeez, it's not something that millions of others haven't done too. It was a choice I made to join, a choice I made to stay, and it's something I believe in.

So thanks for the "thanks", but it still makes me squirm a little.....

Enjoy the weekend!

I understand, I feel the same since I served during the cold war. Son has a hard time with it also and he went to Iraq. He's young,but like most of us will tell you he was just doing his job.[wink]

Hello all!

Avionics tech, QA inspector, Avionics shop super.

Now, I'm just not looking forward to replacing our A-10's with @#$^&@! F-15's. Not that they asked me........

Believe me, I wish we were keeping them. Thanks to BRAC we'll all be soon ex-technicians.

Not the safe, predictable career it used to be. I switched to DCMA for a full time gig, and now I'm in MOC instead of avionics as a traditional. I didn't have a lot of interest in learning a new airframe.

Any chance you would come out to the 104th? We could use a lot of F-15 experience.....
 
I would if some one would buy my house here. And if there was save pay or you guys got our pay rate. I would love to stay working on the F-15, but I can't afford to move out to Western Ma. It doesn't leave much options for us.
 
My crystal ball is predicting a sudden drop in real estate prices in the immediate area of Barnes ANGB about 6 months after the F-15s start flying. Maybe that will help? [laugh]

I hope you can figure a way to follow your jets - we can certainly use F-15 guys!
 
Now, we have two F-15's parked inour hanger with 104th markings on them. A real morale booster. The fact is, we as crew chiefs at Otis have had the feeling that we are not wanted and that the guys at Barnes can handle it. (a quote from our asst. AG). So there isn't alot of incentive to even look at jobs out there. Unless you have worked F-15's, youre in for a world of hurt. It is the most complicated aircraft that I have ever worked. Good luck to the guys who have to do a JFS start manifold out in the weather because there isn't enough hanger space.
 
Welcome Sarge and thanks for your service.

Ouch!! Hope you are all cured now.

Hope you enjoy it here.
 
I don't think I ever posted in this thread-if I did, pardon the redundancy.
