    Trucks

    2013 F-150 XLT 4x4 Ecoboost. Traded in my 2011 528 and I really only miss the gas mileage. Took it to beach and got right at 20 mpg, get 17ish daily. Love my truck. Supercrew with all bells and whistles. Tons of room. Haven't towed anything yet. Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

    Beretta broke ground on their new facility down here yesterday. May not be a bad retirement gig. https://www.wsmv.com/story/26395407/beretta-usa-breaks-ground-on-new-plant-in-gallatin Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  5. Congrats. The AC should always buy the first round.
  6. I miss the Herk tremendously-damn mission change!! I look out my office window every morning to an empty flight line and it just turns my stomach. Almost 20 yrs in the plane so it is hard to let go, but we have to move on. Absolute thrill to fly low-level and airdrop. Too many stories to even begin, but they all usually revolve around the cameraderie of the crew. My 3yr old daughter yells "Herk" every time she sees one. Gotta start them early.
  7. Did she specify what the min order is?
  8. Have the original, would be interested in the new one. Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  9. I wondered WTF you were talking about. Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  10. It's not only that it is convenient to blame the media, it is also likely necessary. They are looking for the headlines and many times, it appears, doesn't give a damn about the consequences of what they report. Seen it too many times. Always remember Rainman's everlasting legacy to BODN-never speak to the media! Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  11. Well played Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  12. I'm taking the Spanish now. The course isn't bad, but the software/JKO is shit. The lessons are timed (20 mins I think). I come in to work early while its quiet to work on this, but if there are any distractions/people stopping by the office, the time limit slips by. When the time elapses and you are not lesson complete, then you do not get credit. During some lessons, the software dicked up and I ended up not getting credit for those lessons. Some had to be retaken multiple times. I have called the help desk # for JKO-no answer, had to leave message. That was two weeks ago and I still have not heard back from them. There is one portion of the lesson where you have to listen to a native speaker and then write what they said-the writing is with the mouse (not the easiest thing to write with) and is very time consuming. This where I usually run into time issues in the lessons. Can be very frustrating.
  13. Yeah, and interesting look and choice of words he used as well.
  14. Not at all

  16. Depends on the unit. We would let you start the trng and then get paperwork done later. But we would want to make sure that you were at least assigned to a position within the squadron before you left, I forget the form number. Herkbum Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  17. I live in that town. I'll see if I can't get over there by the campus and get you sick bastards some pics! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

  20. Bama, Which unit in AL you going to? Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
  21. This. I will be retirement eligible in a few yrs and will be in my mid-40's. Likely going to have to move since I promised the wife she could go back to work if she wanted. And she can't work w/i her area of expertise here. So it looks we will likely be moving away. This is my hometown, but a move could actually be pretty good since we are looking at some fairly decent locations in state income tax free zones. We'll make a determination in a year or so.

  22. I'm up for chipping in as well so you don't lose any money. You shouldn't have to pay out of pocket when there are folks out here that are willing to help out.
