Tron,
As soon as you're allowed, I'm comin' to S.D. to take you out for a spin and a road coke. Can I come to your graduation from boot camp? Keep safe! Keep in touch! Claw the enemy!

One more thing to Captain Evo, Dude, Cajun, 559Evo: Thanks guys, I'm sure the last few years have been rough. I'm glad you guys are almost home.

Shiv, the Captain needs a J-O-B.

 

All the Vishnu guys are class acts and it's just sad to see one go. Best of luck where ever you go. Take care and be safe.

 

It's good to see you chasing after your dreams. As far as I'm concerned that's the only way to live life. Was great to meet you in CO and my hat's off to you for all the great work you've done at Vishnu. All the best and good luck!!!

Good Luck Tron!!!

 

Stay safe and good luck

 

good luck dude.........does this mean theres a position open?

 

much props and the best of luck to you!

 

hey TRON,

Just wanted to thank you for doing what you are doing. Most of us don't have the guts or brains to protect our country. Thank you for all the time and effort that you have given VISHNU and it's customers. I will never forget you taking phone call after phone call from STEVE at FIS when he was installing his first Stage 1. Thank you again and BE SAFE!!

Hats off to you man; I was a combat medic in Vietnam 1966-68 and fully understand your goal of aviation. Mine was medicine and I couldn't afford college and medical school. but after I was discharged the GI bill helped me attain these goals( Internal Medicine is my specialty now) Learn all you can, listen to the DI's in boot and learn from them; they can save your life and know that my respect for you in this endeavor is unending.

 

Good luck "jar head." Growing up on Okinawa, I interacted with the USMC quite a bit. A great organization. Don't ask why I ended up in the Army. Try to get stationed on Oki. The street racing/tuning scene over there is out of control.
Peace,
Jack

 

Best Wishes - stay safe

 

Oh man, you'll have so much fun Tron!

I went into MCRD in December of '02 and graduated march of last year. I'm a reservist Aviation Mechanic (MOS 6217) based in Miramar with VMFA-134 since last september (4 years to go... Doh!). If you get lucky enough and are picked to be a powerliner like me, then you'll be a damn happy person. We do the most work, but we get all the fun stuff! If you get Air Traffic Controller, you can goto work in civies and watch TV all day however, and if you get Ordinance you can polish gun barrels all day If you get F/A-18 you'll love it.. but if you get stuck with helo's or harriers, I dunno. I've heard most guys get frustrated with them real fast.

However, this is all from a reservists (reservists rule) perspective, so take it with a grain of salt.

Try to take nothing personal in boot camp and DO NOT LET THEM DROP YOU BACK. Try to graduate as fast as possible.

I should also mention that we just had one guy in my shop (active duty) leave for OCS recently with the exact same plan as you. He left in august actually and he should be graduating sometime next month. He has a guaranteed Air contract right now, and he's going to push for 18's or the JSF if possible. He was a GSE (ground support equipment) guy.

I also had planed to do the enlisted to active and become a pilot thing but my priorities changed (I got married and have a promising career )

 

good luck man.
