    ... I'm medical Admin, forced re-class from Comm Nav. I fuck'n hate it, People give AF shit for being soft, now think of AF Medical, can't count how often I hear the phrase, "But I'm medical" when tasked to do anything readiness related...

    Right now I'm "NCOIC of the appt line" basically I supervise the 4 positions answering the phones and do the Dr's schedules... about 4hrs of steady work A WEEK, the rest just putting out fires... it's a complete misuse of an E-6... 6.5 years till retirement... seriously looking at the reserves/guard if I can keep an AD retirement so that I can cross-train.

    Oh we're soft... compared to the other branches top to bottom, we're soft. we have some Jobs (AFSC's for us MOS's for the other branch's) that bust their ass's... but far fewer than the other branch's. ESPECIALLY Medical. no worries, it's the nature of the beast when most of our jobs deal with computers and sitting at desks.

    Even though I didn't move much... Dad never left NorCal... He was at Beale's, Mather then Mclellan. I was still that AirForce Brat.. And wore that badge with honor because of my father... My grandpa passed while we were in Moab(rip).. He Flew the B-17 with the Memphis Bell. Think he flew ~24 missions.. We have a long line of military in our family. My generation is the first not to be in the military.


    Edit: 30 missions

    3 weeks smoke free...minus that one shitty day when my vape thingy got lost in a flipped over truck and I smoked some cigarettes...but they tasted like shit and I really wanted my vape thing... so that's good.

    Also, rental car is all ready for the trip south Tuesday...58fe3558acf36b2dcea0690a22166775_581aec3ab0269e0a5e109ed80b1008d7ac62883c.jpg

    also I just looked at your teaser shots... number one

    get rid of the caster correction bushings and replace them with either a caster correction plate kit or Slee lower radius arms and the thing will drive more "correct" youll have some dartiness in the steering because of the incorrect caster

    two check your springs, make sure they are at least OME j springs or you wont be able to handle any bumper weight......

    three spend some time looking for leaks, common spot is the oil pump gasket and main crank seal, as well the power steering hoses have a large tendacy to fail so order a spare hahahahah

    four replace the PHH and youll thank me later

    I'm noticing that as I look at prices...

    1/2) It has a TJM 2.5 heavy/med kit in it now. Planning on a new setup with J Springs, caster plates and panhards.

    3) Not going to be an issues :spy:

    4) Also not going to be an issue :spy:

    Plan is to get the armor, suspension and 35s all done in one shot since they are all so tied to each other. But for the time being while I collect parts the TJM and 285s will work.
