...and I just got home from work. And 5 hours in the Simulator is kinda tiring. I'm good with computers. I've done computer programming in the past, I know C++ and Java. But this stuff is archaic. I know that the AWACS is old, the first one being built in '76. But it's been updated, and even with these updates, it's like controlling Windows XP 100 ( Read more... )

I'm back at Regal again. I had too much free time, and with gas now at $2.00 per gallon, I can't afford to do my endless driving like I used to. So, I got the job here. It's strange. It's almost like it's a dream, or a parallel universe, or something like that. There's enough that's the same that at times, I actually think that I'm back in NC, but ( Read more... )

A choice that you've made a hundred times before in a hundred different ways, but this time, as the light turns green, instead of staying with your choice of going home, you floor the pedal and speed back onto the highway, racing towards something that will ( Read more... )

We had our tornado drill yesterday, and had to go into the small auditorium in our building. Apparently, it was perfect timing, since the officers that were in there needed people to instruct for part of their leadership training. They pick one of the girls that works in the orderly room, and she she walks up to the front of the room. We all watch ( Read more... )

The website is up! but there's nothing there yet, so don't bother

I went through my life support training today. And it sucked, except for 1 small little thing: I got to sit in the pilot's seat of the AWACS today! I still haven't gotten my flightline badge yet, but our instructor escorted all of us out and into the birdcage, where the 18 jets are parked. In keeping in the tradition of noseart on the bombers of ( Read more... )
