I knew a SSgt St Louis years ago but that was at New River NC. I suppose he could be a MSgt Or MGySgt now.

Lol..maybe that's how I landed her! Tanks are cool, I'd rather be a crewman than a mech..not quite sure how you all work that. Air wing firefighters do get more action than you'd think. Everyone likes us when we're saving the day!

Crewmen have it hard, we look at them and feel bad for them and they look at us and feel the same way. Ironic.

Top, I am in school with a guy who knows you and has great respect for you. Sgt Martinez, he also remembers the red Hawk and how hard you took it's loss.

what intrests you? every Marines, well, almost every Marine, will tell your their job is best. bla bla bla.. what do you want to do? every job has it's perks. every job has it's pitfalls. The Crash crew guys make have a blast, but their hours suck ***. as do most of the air wingers hours. some of the more ground orientated MOS's you'll get to spend some time humping your pack around for 15+ miles every two weeks.

it really depends on what you want to do. Just make sure it's something you might beable to do when/if you get out. maybe you can find a job that requires a security clearance.. (being you can obtain a clearance.) because the govt will pay for it. and many employers dig that **** when EAS.

I don't know how much more ground you can get than tanks, other than infantry. We don't really do humps all that often, maybe once a year for 'tank appreciation day'. We do however, spend a lot of time in the field training. Good time and great to build a strong bond.

He is right. Crash Crew and many other air wing jobs do have some long hours. When many other jobs are off for holidays, we will be working. It's all in what you want to do and what you are willing to miss with your family I suppose. Even though our hours suck, we do have a hell of a time at work and it's a rewarding job. It's like a big family. I miss everything about it...except maybe truck field days but even that can be fun..

Parachute riggers that work for me are 6048's. Sgt Martinez is a good man and he is right, I took the loss of my Red car pretty hard. My EX WIFE totaled it. notice the EX.

Well of course I like working on car's but I want to be a cop more then anything, alos I would love to get it SWAT. Also what kind of job's are there where you need security clearance?
