Default A.F. special duty postal ?

I've been thinking about putting in for postal duty. the missiles job out here at Hill is about to go to **** & go civilian. i was wondering what postal duty is like. they have some openings in S.Korea, Okinawa & i think Germany. i'm guessing around holidays the work load is pretty busy but what else is involved

Missiles? Whats your job?

It probably isn't too stressing.

icbm rocket motor storage and transportation, well, that's the job at hill anyway. it's easy work, but civilians are weeding us X2's out of work slowly. only other bases i can really go to:

Minot
Malmstrom
F.E. Warren
Vandenberg


either way, i could use a little break

man my best friends dad did postal, its a lil hard during the holidays, but other than that its real ******* easy (we got in trouble and he made us work for him for a week) and once you get up there in the ranks all you do is sit in the office and **** around, and depending on where you go, you usually get alot of volunteers that help you out, and that goes double for overseas, i had to do it in germany and it wasent hard at all

I got a buddy out here (germany) that just got here about 6 months ago, hes doing the postal thing and he just got sent to texas for combat driving school and when he gets back hes going to the giant sandbox

Doesnt sound fun, very tedious work, and now it sounds like hes gonna be doing convoys

B, you forgot about:
Edwards
Patrick
Cape Canaveral
Wright Patterson
Hickam
Peterson
Only problem with WP, Hickam, is that you have to have experience in one of the two SLS's. Peterson you have to kiss ***, and be higher ranking then what you currently are.
As for low man on the totem poll, sounds like me now...
