| Hello and Great Site! Hello everyone. My name is James. I am a SSgt in the U.S. Air Force working jet engines on the C-17 Globemaster III. Im currently Stationed at Charleston AFB, SC. I have been in 8 years now and still having a blast. I came across this site a few years ago, but I have only recently started making post on the forums. This is a great site and everyone in the forums seems to be full of information. I hope to make many more post and maybe share some of the info i have with the rest of the world.  |
