Just thought I'd share my good news

Post by sullione »

I found out that I made rank today. For all that don't know, I'm in the Air Force. I will be leaving for Iraq next month so at least I got some good news before I leave my family behind. :D Of course the smile is for being promoted. lol

He's in the Air Force - it's all strippers and alcohol in air conditioned barracks for them! :lol:

My uncle was in the Air Force in Vietnam and he said it was a blast (he ran the officer's club).

Seriously, though, congrats and I hope you get through an adventure unharmed.

Don't forget to wear a rubber, dude!

Congrats man, I got the same news a few hours ago. I don't have to go to the sandbox though. What plans do you have for all of that separation/hazardous theater pay :D What do ya do with the AF, if it's internet appropriate discussion.

Operose, I'm happy about the promotion, not the deployment. G-reg, to be honest, alot of that money is going to my car. It will get a paint job, window tint, and a four-channel amp. I really want to do an ej20 swap but getting all the stuff I need is being a pain.

I just made Tech. How's Korea? I was never stationed there but I was deployed there in Kwang ju back in 98. I see you're at Osan (I visited there and Kunsan), do you know any Weapons guys? I know two people that are in the A-10 squadron. Good luck on your SSgt test.

Do the hookers in Korea still do your laundry and cook you breakfast, all inclusive with the all-night rate?

And what does St. Bernard taste like?

So, how is the UAV business? It's looking like my unit is going to get bent over by BRAC. We are definitely losing our F-16A's(yes A's) and maybe being rolled in with Grand Forks AFB who is losing their KC's for Global Hawks and Predators. So if I stay with the unit I'll be maintaining or flying (kind of) Predators. Or I can jump ship and still try and get a single seat fighter slot :twisted:
