My first 13 months or so were in training. RTC (boot camp) 19 Sep 77 - 17 November 77 San Diego CA, AE Class A(1) Scool and prerequisites 28 November77 to 29 June 78 Memphis Tenn, FRAMP School 30 June 78 to 5 October 78 Norfolk Va and then Permanent Duty @ Rota Spain in VQ2 28 Oct. 78 to 9 Sep 81. That was great, I loved being in Spain.

I like Spain, too. I've only been there once but I've been spending time learning Spanish cos it got to be one of my obsessions for some strange reason.

Sorry but I had to laugh cos only an Aspie would include exact dates. :)
:asthing: Didn't even think about that till you pointed it out.

That's the term used to describe Ratings that are involved with troubleshooting, repair and preventative maintenance of US Naval aircraft. I was an Aviation Electricians Mate Third Class until I fucked up and the CO knocked me back down to Airman.

I wonder just how many people here are involved in troubleshooting?  It's my favorite thing to do as far as work goes anyway

Does digital troubleshooting count?

I do a lot of that.

My problem is that often I can't stop before I have solved the problem.

It does to me. The principles of common point and knowing the system should be the same.

Because you need to keep the System up, or because it'll drive you nuts?

Shitty traffic conditions can do that to you. SF Bay Area traffic and Melbourne are probably not much different.

WTF  :asthing: just got that one.  :lol:

Seems the army is a perfect place for
the kinda anti-social fucks a lotta us
are. You get to kill people, without
going to (annoyingly social) prison.

I just couldn't convince them to
take me on MY terms.

Nice excuse. I already served my time.

No excuse. I would be pathetic as anything less than a light colonel.

From the guys associated with NSDM, I was convinced that that was
about where my minimal effective point would be.

Luckily, unlike the military, the real world does allow one to jump
over the bs "time serving".

I'm glad you enjoy chickenshit though.

That's pretty cool. The 101st is hard core.
