    Gross. Shaw. Buddy of mine in Weapons is there and hates it.

    I went through there once to pick up fighters to drag overseas. Place was terrible. I hope you enjoy it, 11 years worth of it.

    Former F-16/A-10 crew chief here. Got our a couple years ago after ~14.5yrs. Definitely not the easiest decision, but the right one for myself and my fam.

    Anyways, if anyone here needs help discussing their transition to becoming a civilian/nonner feel free to reach out... I am always trying to help folks get the support & guidance TAPS didn’t give me.

    Thanks for all you guys do! ✌

    I was at McConnell for 10 years. Got a sweet assignment to KC-46 in Seattle for 4.5years and got bored. Went to Incirlik for a year, now at Travis.
