Wadja wurkon? Apr 21, 2012 at 8:53pm Reply Quote Edit like Post Options Post by steve201 (deceased) on Apr 21, 2012 at 8:53pm to you all ya'll.... dang.....I can't claim I worked on anything in the AF....  started out at 18 yrs old..joined the AF and after basic and got to my first pcs...I worked at nors control....then at grandforks I was assigned to msl for the FIS sqdn there....they flew f106's at both hamilton and grand forks....got transfered back to calif and travis where I was at the 60aps ....talk about boring...so...got out...went to college...got a few jobs that pretty much sucked and got hired onto Mare Island Navshpyd where I was assigned to 2340 test group...reactor plant testing for fast attack submarines... I found that job boring after the first yr and was able to transfer to the electrical systems integration group...basically I designed all the electrical systems installations into nuclear submarines...my specialty became wave guides and electrical wireways design outside the hull..did alot inside too but for here..I got drafted into a spook group (ie Ocean Engineering) designing the SSN685 USS Parche..which was used to spy on the soviets...couldn't talk about it until after they made it into razor blades and a book and movie.....(Blind mans bluff) cost me a marriage too....was working crazy long hrs and all... then moved to mississippi where I worked on the USS Kidde class destroyers....122mil dollar overhaul....also worked on the Battleship USS Wisconcin BB63 reactivation... from there we moved to Virginia where I worked on the USS Seawolf SSN21 nuclear attack submarine for 7 yrs....quietest submarine ever designed and able to do more than any submarine in history..there were only 3 boats built for the navy...SSN21,22,23.. ..the 23 boat is called the USS Jimmy Carter (don't get me started on that one) where she was converted to specops replacing the USS Parche's job of spying on our enemies...I ended up spending 17 yrs designing nuclear attack subs and surface combat ships.....then moved to boeing.... I'm one of the few people in the world that can say I've designed under the sea...on the sea...and over the sea.....  my career certainly hasn't been as great as yours..but ..it's been an adventure..... well..I guess I can claim my design experiences.... for boeing commercial airplane group...I've worked on just about every model we have in one form or another..from the 737 to the 787... I started out in 1996 working at boeing on thai airlines 747-400 Electical systems integration then went to Virgin Atlantic 747-400 electrical systems integration got transferred to customer engineering where we supported every model that boeing makes for the customer catalog and supported several options of my own....the catalog is what customer airlines chose models....engines...every option to make thier airplane as unique as the finger print.. since I'm not a degreed engineer...I don't have signature authority but would make decisions and pass it past my engineer for his signature... got laid off in 2003 for 2 yrs when the airlines all crashed and almost went under....almost closed the doors at the plant but they managed to keep going..the airlines turned around and I got rehired to the electromagnetics effects group....been the certification focal for the past 4 yrs now supporting the 787-8 composite airplane....every part that was certified had to go thru me before the AR(authorized rep. for boeing to the FAA) would look at it and sign the doc's required for type cert.......now we're starting to work on the -9 ...should be easier than the -8.. humbly... Steve Read more: forum.f-106deltadart.com/user/808/recent#ixzz4PR79sHQxwent into the past and pulled this... all is pics are gone, probably lost with some new version of this site. remember the thread?? |

I was looking at some old travel orders last week and came across a letter from Base Finance about travel rates for TDY. I had gone down to Eglin AFB for a week, I got non-availability from Base. But the local finance office said I would only get on-base rates as I did not check in with Hurlburt Field which in nearby. So I started thinking about how many other cities were in same boat. I could also add Duke Field to same list as it is just North of Eglin. It was reserve base and had AC-130 Gunships at that time. But Montgomery AL has both Maxwell AFB and Gunter. Spokane WA has Fairchild and Geiger. San Antonio has Lackland, Randolph and Kelley.
I bet there are many more. I could add Bitburg and Spangdahlem in Germany. They are a 30 min drive apart but on a clear day you can see the runways from either. But that is not USA.
I show my age as many of these Bases are closed or are included in new Joint Base agreements.
BTW we got our weather Thursday/Friday. It started off as a long-drawn-out sleet/ice storm before turning to snow. I don't measure ice, but we got over 6 inches of snow on top of it. Since I am down pretty much from my back my son did ours's then ended up doing about 6 homes around ours. He even made parking slots on road in front of the houses. He must have enjoyed running the blower.
GAs has gone back up from the $2.95 point to over $3.15. Probably even go higher. I also got my gas bill. It is almost double from last year. Natural gas is still cheapest operating cost.
Glad you got things running again Gary.
