Hello....from my communication black hole LOL

[james3370]

just wanted to drop in to say HEY....made it thru Basic w/ shing colors & am now at Ft Gordon in Augusta,GA for my AIT training

we started w/ 58 in my platoon at Basic, but only 34 of us made it thru :0

not sure where my 1st duty station will be yet.....we usually get that info around our 9th week & i just finished up week 5. most guys in my MOS have been getting korea & germany, with a few getting japan, hawaii or ft huachuca in az, so we'll see

anywhoo, since i now remember my login info (LOL) i'll check in occasionally

Its great to hear from you, James! I started some LED stuff a few weeks ago and I've been thinking about you. Mainly because I keep seeing your 1 year old head pop up in LED threads.

Was just thinking about you the other day when I was looking at that tank of yours that I still haven't got it up and running YET...lol... Hope everything is going well with ya!!!!

James best of luck man. If you get Hawaii get in touch.

Hay James glad you made this far. Which I know you would. Be safe and keep intouch.

 

[james3370]

thanks everybody

AIT is ALOT of work....couple that w/ the fact that i was recently nominated for Soldier of the Cycle, which comes w/ "only 65 pages of information to memorize" LOL

not sure if i'm gonna have time to give it my full attention, but gonna give it a try....looks good for when i come up for my promotion in about 6-9 months

 

[NeveSSL]

Sounds like you're rocking it, man.

Thanks for dropping in! Keep in touch!

well this week i had a POR briefing (Preparation of Overseas Replacements) this week. all the people in my class (except national guard & reserve) were on the roster. everybody except mine said Korea, but mine said Europe

well, today, i got an email telling me the exact location.....Mannheim Germany

germany is a 2-year change of duty for single & 3-year for married....Korea is 12/24.

i'm glad it's gonna be in Germany instead of Korea.....more to do as far as travelwise for my time off & i actually prefer the longer duty station
