hey guys wats up. my name is Jon and I love my pepper white mini cooper. Im originally from FL but im stationed at Holloman AFB in New Mexico. I am apart of the local scca and like long walks along the beach lol. Recently tho my baby was rear ended by an exterra in el paso, tx. So i am anxiously waiting to get her back =/ When i get her back i bought sum new coilovers and new shoes that are going on asap.

this is one of the saddest things i had to witness. (even tho damage was minimal, i was unable to drive it)

 

Welcome! I am new too and don't have a mini yet... but it's nice to see another airman!... Whats your AFSC? I'm in CSO (nav) training at NAS pensacola FL.

 

lol i went to tech school at pensacola too. I'm NDI. Youre only in pensacola for like a week or two right?

 

More like a year or 2... CSO school is 12 months... plus there are prerequisite courses like water survival, ASBC, and IFS.

Funny that you mention that you are NDI, because I am actually waiting for the tech school to start, and I am working as OIC/CSS (basically the LT that sits in the CSS office and helps with personnel stuff, as well as with other admin tasks) for 361 TRS Det 2. I actually was the MC for an NDI graduation this past friday!

How long ago where you here? Which instructors and MTL's did you have?

 

my course was like 8 or 9 weeks i cant really remember, but i had to wait for my course to start too. i did like 3 weeks of taking peoples accountability cards and saying "carry on" lol. my mtls were ssgt pagan, ssgt pennington, that tsgt that says "too easy huah" lol, msgt lauwe (red head chick) lol, and that red head dude. i dont think you would know any of my instructors tho. But i had Mr. Britton, Tsgt jackson, mr foster, and one other guy lol he is a huge saints fan.

 

NICE... (BTW its MSgt Laue not Lauwe) lol... but yea they are all still there. Laue is PCSing to Tyndall this summer though. But yea I believe NDI is 6 weeks (plus details while waiting). BTW when did you graduate?

 

2 Feb 2010. I kinda miss pensacola actually lol

 

LOL... you wouldnt want to be there for tech right now... all the students are on lock down for 2 weeks since we caught a whole mess of them on camera spending the night in the opposite sex dorms on a regular basis... they can't even go to portside... just the mega building, dorms, galley, and nex.

 

whaaaat?!?! lol i dont think we were even allowed down the female dorm side without an escort. well over here at holloman we have been on standby pretty much all week lol. We have pretty much been on a snow day since tues. fantastic stuff

 

THey arent... but the the CQ airman didnt stop them... and they only saw about half the cameras... so we watched the video from one camera of them avoiding another camera

 

lol kids these days and their shenanagans. When i was there i think the killer was making it back in time for curfew lol. It was death running up those stairs hahaha

 

HAHAHA yea I can imagine. Lately their favorite pastime seems to be following me around when im outside for lunch and watching me call out all the USMC and USN E-1's for not saluting... (they dont notice the brown instead of gold, bars on my collar LOL) for some reason they find this very amusing

 

In my opinion i think the USN & USMC officers are harder to spot lol. Especially during the hours of darkness....OMG... regardless of branch officers need like glow in the dark or indicator lights or something by their rank lol. I know that would help out a couple airmen lol

 

Hickam AFB in Hawaii is pretty nice . Haha we have SCCA here too at the Aloha Stadium. Welcome!

 

Welcome Jon!

Thank you for your service!

 

Welcome Jon and Bryan! Nice to have flying folks here. Be safe out there.

 

None are harder to spot than Army....

 

My fellow Zoomies might be interested in the custom badge I just had made up... http://www.gobadges.com/product-p/3c...hap-arnold.htm
