Hey Drew, whered you learn that job,,, my first afsc was pmel, which is pretty much exactly what u do. yeah, this site is an addiction, it's almost better than looking as ****. lol.

 

all ojt. . .but I have been to some CECOM and NRC cources on radiation. plus I majored in physics and computer science in college

 

coool, u finished college. I've been trying to finish for years now,, and it gets more difficult every year. I have a GI bill now that I don't even have time to use. I think I'm gonna do it soon though, my new job in the AF is avionics on the C5 Galaxy, so I'm gonna pile everything up and hopefully get a BS in electronics.

 

Hey usafr where are you at? I'm in Qatar right now and have a few c-5 guys here. I think I have read every post on this site since I've been here.

 

In tech school they told us that if we drop a torque wrench, we have to hand it in to get recalibrated, and that cost the Air Force like $150 when its done out of schedule (instead of about every 60 days). I thought to myself, "thats pretty damn expensive, if thats actually what it costs them, man, they are really being a$$ r@ped." I don't really believe it, but, oh well.
Yea... when I'm not at work (crew chieft C-130) or sleeping, I'm on here... sad but true.

 

My wife is Active Army stationed in Fort Hood, I am trasnferring from Homestead Florida going to Lackland. I'm in the process of reclassing jobs right now. Im doing avionics on the C5 now.

 

Man, this is getting so creepy I may have to go to Cummins Anon - I spent 30 years in commercial calibration - and I thought I could get away from that! HA! There must be some weird connection between metrologists and diesels...(but I am glad to know I'm not the only one who can't seem to stop looking at these posts)

 

James, you are right with dropping torque wrenches and having to turn them in. severe shock and the internals of the wrench dont get along. but every 60 day's. . .crap that quick, all of our ava. wrenches are on a 180 day schedule. all the other wrenches are on a 600 day schedule.

$150 a wrench I dont know, our service is free, the tax payers are paying for what I do, so I'm paying myself to sit here and be on this site as well as everyone else in the nation[8D]

Brian, guess there is some sort of TMDE connection between all this

 

Don't feel too bad, I'm a traditional reservist, in my civilian job I'm a lineman. I had a disc crap out in my lower back, so while they are comtemplating surgery, I get paid to stay home a babysit and be on this site, (I love it). Before I came here, I fixed street lights for the city of Ft. Pierce, Florida. It doesn't get much better than that (I was issued a box of biscuits for all the gravy there).
