What Annoyed You Today?

[trackend]

Sorry bout that Mossie you off to FL this year?

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

have to get a real job,was looking for anything in the aviation field but found out being an 11b doesnt qualify you to do anything................damn

That is why you should not have joined the infantry! When I joined the military almost 7 years ago I knew I wanted to fly and work on aircraft so I joined up as a 67T (later it was changed to 15T) Blackhawk Repairman.

In AIT I learned the basics of fixing aircraft when I got my first assignment (and my only assignment I kept extending to stay in Germany) I quickly proved my skills and learned as much as possible and within 5 months I was a crewchief flying Blackhawks everyday and working on my own aircraft every day. A little over 6 years and 1500 hours (650+ combat hours) later I got out of the army. Before I got out I tested out at a FAA center and now have my A&P License so that I can work on all types of civilian aircraft.

Oh and what annoyed me today. Tonight is our local street fest with live music and lots of beer and it is thunderstorming and supposed to stay that way the rest of the weekend.

Cleaning the oven has really annoyed mne today, the trays in there are taking 30 minutes each of pure elbow grease

Finding out I'm 4F by military standards.

What's "4F?"

[cougar32d]

hey adler, that wasn't a very nice thing to say , all kidding aside someone has to be in the mud. it was a fun 12 years, never thought i'd get out this way(med. board) guess i should've ducked sooner.

[cougar32d]

4-F = unfit for military service; old term used from the 40's-70's

Wasn't supposed to be taken in a rude way...

But yeah someone has to play in the mud while we flyboys fly overhead, assault you guys in then fly back to base for a beer!

Just kidding man!

Those were actually some of the most exciting times doing combat air assaults.

That sucks. I hope to God I don't hurt myself and get med boarded out... it's happened to many of my friends. Are you already out, or is the med board still in progress?

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I did not get med boarded out but I am waiting on my VA stuff and hopefully will have some benifets for my messed up knee and back from the army.

[MacArther]

Not so much annoyed as worried about my Marine best friend in Iraq. He's my age, and I've known him since 6th grade.

[cougar32d]

no worries adler didnt take it for rude just bustin your chops for being a rotorhead, but i would never admit in public(oops) how much we love you guys ,especially the medevac guys they, and you lift guys got me out of some bad situations more that a few times. ...........thanks...from a grateful grunt. as for answering mkloby i've been out almost 18 months now, worst 18 months of my life.
