As soon as it finishes I have to finish coordinating the command inspection we will conducting on our headquarters company. And as usually happens this time of year, the weather is beautiful, sunny and 60 degrees and I'm at drill. At least we have some sharp soldiers.
Four years and running.

It really is a beautiful place to work...and visit!
Happy where I'm at now.
I'm at a local plant nursery (Owen's Nursery) from 7:30 to 4:00 on Saturday, 4:30 to 8:30 on weekdays..... I'm in the mail order shipping department. I put plants in plastic baggies in preparation for shipping. Did about 1000 Japanese Bloodgrass today....740 last night. I think I'm getting sick of plants now. Senior EditorBTW, Mario, what kind of lab work do you do?
I must be blessed. I've read all your letters about working on weekends and thank the Gods I don't have to. I work Mon - Fri, 0700-1530. I'm an aircraft mechanic for lockheed martin and work on helicopters inspecting the airframes for corrosion, cracks, loose fasteners and anything else that might endanger the aircraft and crew. My job does have one bad draw back. I'm on the road 9 months out of the year and travel to all military installations on the east coast. I do all my modeling in hotels and motels. All my model gear is boxed up in the back of the blaser and goes down the road with me. Hey Ranger, are you at fort benning right now? That's where I'm working at this moment, lets get together and have lunch at the bowling alley or something. I'm working down at lawson airfield inspecting the 498th medivac aircraft. Let me know something ok, I finish there on the 12th and then go Valdosta Ga. Thanks guys, loved reading all your stories. Chris.
M1 Garand, I started out in 1980 as a Huey Mech/Crewchief. I got on Hawks in 1991 and worked on them (actually I was a platoon sergeant and TI'd the work) until I retired in 1996. Now as a General Mechanic for Lockheed I work on all rotor winged aircraft. I just spent 14 months at Fort IndianTown Gap Pa, putting new 714 engines on all the national guard CH-47's there. I get alot of good experience this way. And the pay is good too!!!! RANGER - I'll be leaving on the 12th for home in Fayetteville NC, there is a model show there on the 13th I want to enter. I'll be driving back down to Valdosta on sunday. Looks like we're going to miss each other by hours. Sorry buddy. But I will be back next year. I do all of the south eastern states every year. AND I don't have to worry about those guys in the tan berets, there this crewchief over in the VIP flight detachment whos from Russia and very large. He's my newest bestest buddy, I'll just go get him if the 75th guys want to harrass me. LOL, but thanks for the warning. Chris. :-)
