Its a little tough, I have been deployed to Southwest Asia four times since 03. I always end up on convoy escorts with the Army. It could be worse I could be a MARINE!!!
Elmendorf is ok... Alaska rocks... absolutly gorgeous... but the winters are no joke... 8months long... I work in the hospital... this place on the other hand SUCKS!... it's like everyone is using this place as a stepping stone to somewhere else... so noone really puts in an effort to improve anything... I guess it's the 3 year controlled tour...:nonod:
I was at Beale just north of Sacramento for 2 1/2 years... I left there a year ago. it's one of those "the grass is greener" things... I didn't like it while I was there... but would go back in a second... I miss the weather... 12 months of riding easy... not alot imediatly arround the base though(inside 45mins) but outside that there's alot... Tahoe, San Fran, Chico State, Sacramento, Reno... plus it was only 9 hours south of my home (Portland) usually made it in 7 though :wink:
Security Forces huh? I've been thinking alot about my crosstrain... I was forced to crosstrain into Med Admin in basic and I'm definatly NOT going to re-enlist in this career field... i've thought alot about 3c, 2e2 (both Comm jobs working with the networks) even Security Forces... I hear alot of crap about the job but I'm just so damn tired of the Medical BRANCH...
They act as though they're not part of the military unless it affects them in a positive manor...
ok... done with my rant lol...
how do you like SF?
Oh BTW... you guys testing this year DLITALIEN? if so...good luck...

Iraq is no joke. we have been working with the Army alot the past few years, with convoy security. Korea was pretty cool, i spent a year over there , i couldnt bring my wife thought.If your single you will like it . lots of partying drinkin lol:cheers:

yeah we just had two SF members from here killed in Iraq... and another seriously injured... they were in a convoy... and a car bomb exploded next to them... :disapp: all three are married with kids... :nonod:
yeah I've wanted to go to Korea ever since I came in... that way I could get to Europe... but I ended up here... but no worries... I'll get there... eventually! :lol:
lol... well all I do now is browse the internet... I swear if it wasn't for forums I'd have finished the internet by now:lol:Wockman said:

A Navy man. right on, how did you guys stand on that time on a ship? or sub? depending on what you served on.jtemple said:
No, I don't test this year. I just put on in November. It was my second time testing. I got a Article 15 so I had to skip a year after I tested the first time. I'm glad I didn't make it because my line number would've been gone in a snap. One of my good buddies is a cop (SF). He was at Balad for 6 months doing convoy's and all that. He said continuous 14 hour days takes a toll on a guy. I don't doubt that for a second. He actually has an '05 GSXR 1K. He's had it for about 8 months now and all he has on t is 600 miles :yikes: The man should be slapped. The only place I've been deployed to is Diego. A two month vacation more like it. I should be at Beale later on this year for AFCOMAC (7 level requirement). I here that place is an untapped resource (girlies). I might have to truck the R6 up when I go. Is there any good riding around there?
well I tested for SSgt last year... missed it by 1.8pts.... #24 in the AF NOT to get a stripe... lol... even worse... my LITTLE brother made it!:cursin: :lol:DLITALIEN said:
your friends bike sounds like mine.... I just bought a 05 ZZR600... it was a military guys and he was deployed so much he didn't get to ride it much... he put 600 miles on it and traded it in... lol... good deal for me
as for beale being an untapped resource... uh... it's also a unSTOCKED resource lol... not many hotties on base... go up to Chico State... or to Roseville... and you'll get your $'s worth of Cali girls... as long as you don't mind the valley girl act... I seriously thought this was bs till I moved there... :yikes: but damn... some GORGEOUS grils:drool: :wink:
have fun bro:cheers:
