I was talking to an AF recruiter this morning and I was given a copy of, The Book 2002 New Airman, as I was leaving.

During Chem. class I was perusing the contents when, low and behold, I found this well publicized photo of SOCNET's very own gun bunny. :D

Smile bro you're famous. ;)

Rick

P.S.
Can you hook me up with your agent? :D
 
Yeah, I get a few cool deals every once in a while. That one was totally luck and I had no idea it would be in print. Just happened to have a combat camera dude on board for an flight up in Reno. (Fallon NAS) Got me a nice new Strider from it, though. I'm sure I'll hear about it from the other guys on here now.
 
Hey Bomber,

Wow, aerial gunner huh? You an actual PJ/CCT or what?

Ahh the career fields that you don't find about until it's too late and you're already a cop!

Must be a pretty damn cool job though..

Hi Ryan,

Cant see the picture so well.
What knife were you carrying?

Shall keep in contact as just returned from a trip.

Warmest wishes,
Oliver
 
Its own AFSC??!!!

Ya know what's messed up? The pretty damn cool AFSC's you find out about AFTER you become a cop and nobody can touch you because you sold your soul to the devil himself - or is it because the AF needs cops so badly? Either way you can't get out of it, cuz cops are untouchable when it comes to the good stuff. Like in basic, we couldn't even try out for TACP, PJ/CCT, ROMAD, anything like that. Ahh well, thats life I suppose. No regrets. I love my job! :D

Phil,
As soon as you are eligible to crosstrain, you can go gunner if you want. We have a couple of cops starting the process right now. It's a hell of a lot better deal than being a cop. I promise you.

Edited to add following:
Chindit,
It's your Rescue DB of course.
 
Well Knife, here's the deal..

I'm heading down to Lackland for K-9 school, so I think my cross train into gunner is out of the question. I'm excited as can be! K-9 has been my military goal, my dream, and now it's finally comming true.

We'll have to keep eachother briefed on deployments. Maybe one of these days you & I will end up in the same place. Should that happen, we're gonna have to sit and have a few brews, unless of course we're in the Sandbox - then it's nearbeer :D

Stay safe bro
Phil
 
We make our own on deployments. That is to augment the supply we travel with at least. All kinds of ways to fit liquor in a helicopter to evade confiscation.:D
 
Ahhh yes, way to go Ryan!

When we back for our 'off-shore' engineering assignments, I'm always the last one in the packing crate...

Nothing like getting to 'bum phuck' nowhere, and having no juice!

(I caught a crating guy removing said libation once, and told him that if we 'had' made it 'there', cracked the case...and gone dry, he would have been out of a job, and his nuts removed to boot!)

The only time my 'method' went south was when I packed a 6'er of Coke with the Rum...it compressed at 35,000 in a Fed-Ex plane and made a real mess! :eek:

We almost lost our corporate account over that one, and this right after ValueJet...

The Fed-Ex VP didn't buy my excuse that Barcardi Dark and Coke Classic were bonafide 'engineering support materials'...lol

That I didn't lose my job over that one... ;)

'Good on you guys!'

Mel

Note to self, pass on the soda pop next time...
 
As long as the rum didn't get injured I think it was worth the risk!:D

BTW Melvin Purvis,
I can't believe you would like the guy that "got" John Dillinger.(Spelling?) Just caught on to the reference. You aren't related to that back shooter are you?;)
