Yeap my wife just needs to finish college so I can hurry up and get over there. Just need to find a job over here working for the government on the Army post here in Germany for now. It is so damn competetive and difficult to get one. Ill manage though.

| Thanks but I have allready been trying for Dyncor, but that 90 day contract is actually almost over, and they will only hire me on the German side which puts a stamp in my passport which means after the contract is over I can not longer work for the Americans in Germany. It is pretty stupid.

| P38 I will get to Alaska. I just need to wait here in Germany till my wife is done with college. That is the hard part because I want to stay on the American side of the house here in Germany there is only one company to work with and it is really hard to get hired on with them. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow.

| I love the Corsair. Purpose built plane. What part of the egress systems did you work on? The electronics, mechanical systems, all of them?

Once in the shop we would test the different components on the seat, get a new parachute if needed, the works. It was interesting but I preferred the Martin-Baker seat in the F-4s. | |

| Best thing if you realized in time. It is not always easy to make your mind up like that.
