Here's another picture of it . . .

It was originally a commercial airliner. When the military started using it, they cut out 6 feet of seating area between the nose and the wings, gutted it, and filled it with electronics.

I wasn't either, 17 and doing donuts in my car like a guy :facepalm: :laugh:
My first job was pumping gas :laugh:

That's pretty cool. :thumb:


Sun will be pumping gas tonight, after eating all those baked beans. :lol:

Cool :thumbs:

Dad was the guy that caught the planes landing on the ship ... once a plane wheel ran over his pant leg!! :shock: :lol:

He did the real work! Without him, the pilots couldn't do their jobs.

I wasn't either, 17 and doing donuts in my car like a guy :facepalm: :laugh:

I was sneaking the family car at 15 (without a learner's permit) and cutting donuts in a nearby field after everyone went to bed. :facepalm: My Mom knows about it now. My oldest sister ratted me out. :laugh:

I think you landed in a very cool job!

Me too. Probably one of the best you can get and still be in the military. :D I was indoors the majority of my time, except the first few months when I got to both duty stations. The first because they were figuring out what to do with me. The second duty station because they still had P2s, and the transition to P3s was not complete, so I worked the line for a while with the other Electricians.

    Does that mean your brother won't be going with you, or are you making arrangements ahead of time?

    Good Night, Sweet. :wub:

    Yes, it's been slow for a long time. I really hope it picks up again. :)

    I was a sickeningly good girl :facepalm:

    :lol: I was a good boy, too. :lol: But I did get away with some stuff. :laugh:

    Hey Beachmates :D

    Sorry I couldn't post pictures earlier. We went along the Blue Ridge Parkway today and did some sight-seeing with our friends before they headed home. Then came back to the cabin and had one last campfire (for this trip). We've packed up and cleaned up some things :cry: I don't wanna go home!!!

    So, here are a couple of shots from our zip line adventure. It was a blast! We did 3 zip lines with a little hiking between each one. It was fun!! If I can figure out how to post a video of it, I will :D







    And these are our wonderful friends!
