I hope Fred made it through the hurricane.

Still hope that's true.

I have been happy with Yulista. Out here at Dyess AFB it is really great. The pay is anyway. They could use a few lessons in health care. Sometimes though, I get itchy foot syndrome and start looking elsewhere.

So how is Terry doing.......how bout Donna?

Hello all, new forum member here. Nice to see another site dedicated to our career field. Anyway, just wanted to shout out a big HELLO!

I just now read the specifics about you, lol. I thought I was old. I finally found someone older than me! Congrats for making this long.

Hi NRA...Nice to see another gun freak on the forum...you do like ghuns don't you?

NRA4Life · 01-17-2006 -- 11:17:00

Absolutely...I've been an NRA Life Member for years now. I've always enjoyed hunting and shooting, but thought my $$ would be well spent defending my Constitutional right by the NRA. Nice to know there is another fanatic on the forum too.

I love my guns.. Thraxas knows how I like my guns. I currently own 23 guns. I never go anywhere without my 1911-A1 or my USP40.

Long live the FN Fal!!!!! Doesnt make for a very good carry gun though.

NRA4Life · 01-18-2006 -- 14:31:24

Glock 30 .45 makes a nice carry gun

flew-da-coup · 01-20-2006 -- 12:16:46

cs137- FN FAL makes a nice carry gun. Well, as long as it matches your shoes.

Anything wrong with a Colt Combat Commander?

Yeah, I know. We couldn't even walk into Krystal's without people thinking you were robbing the place.

Not to change the subject, or more correctly TO change the subject, I am a new member and offer my congrats to whomever thought up and created this site. Great job!! I am ex-PMEL, considering going back into the field. When I last worked, I was at Keesler in the K5-K6 lab, and really enjoyed working in phys-d. I have not calibrated a piece of test equipment in the last 20 years. How much has really changed? I have stayed in the electronics industry since, so I have grown and maintained my skills, but am I going to have a problem getting back into it? I have applied for several jobs on the commercial side, verizon and a couple of pharmicuticals, does anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks,

Scott

To me, it sounds like you should be ok.

You've got the basics of calibration from your previous time in PMEL and have stayed current in electronics. Sure, the TMDE will have changed, but the principles of taking measurements are basically still the same.

If you end up in an AF lab, you'll find things to be alot different on the management, QA, and audit side. But not so much that you couldn't pick it back up with a little effort. Now, I can't speak for the commercial side, but there are several members here that can. Maybe they can share some of their insight of that side of the house.
