Thanks fellas!

No definites yet...still working on Relo Package...scouring Craigs list and other avenues for a temp shack for me to lay down in.

I only need a place to lay my head and wash my nasty ass every night. Nothing expensive or big.

The wife and little stewie will come later on (probably 6months later) so that he can finish school, give us time to clean up the condo, get it on the market and sell it...or refinance and rent out.

Once a Marine Always a Marine...

Yup will be good to hang out with Dol and Chris again! This time around on a permanent basis! Good times....and looking forward to hangin out with the rest of you guys in the Chas area as well!!:cheers

Be on the lookout soon for the Hammer!

Job is sending me that way...better job and pay as well. Internal Move

QNA, my original Co (OSEC) was bought up by the larger....so new doors opened up and I jumped on it.

Hey bgstew6, what was your MOS in the Marine Corps?

bgstew6

01-06-2009, 03:45 PM

Started out
2841/2843
then 2861/2842

IF you know comm then you would say how the hell did he get to be a 42 without being 2818/2821 as the career progression path? Well my last duty station (where I currently work) saw fit to bend the rules and got to carry two primaries in two different fields back in the day coupled with Numerous duties and training/certifications in Intel, NBC and Recon to boot.

Now a days with the restructuring of the comm field in the corps recently, alot of the fields have merged together....old MOS's went away with new ones to take their place as a merging of two.

Is that in 3112 or 3113? I do some stuff out there too and have heard of C4ISR, but have never worked on the project. Most of the people I work with come from Complex D in the back corner near the pond, the UHF Lab.

I could be wrong b/c its been a while since Ive worked in 3113 but I dont think its in that building(3113 is the one closest to the gate right? Its been that long:roll:). I know they have a few SCIF's in 3112 aswell. Although the whole base is pretty much a huge SCIF. LOL

I tried but it looks like $535 is the cheapest if you want to live on your own in a 1/1. And about $325 IIRC to shack with someone else.

The apartments I live in are $625 a month for 2bed 1 bath in GC area.

:bigthumb:.....Glad you made it, I need to check out your J&S Vampire. Hopefully that's my next mod if I can ever save up the money.

After I recoup from the tax bill I have this year; I can get one.

NP can do! Its still all out so seeing everything is quite easy. That is one thing I need to do and finish the install by hiding everything. Performed flawlessly....didnt drop the boost, change the tune or anything....just loaded (completely stuffed is more like it) my truck and headed east. Ran 89 octane all the way to Fla...then dropped real 93 in her for the first time in her life. Sooooooo nice that I can get 93 and a full tank of gas for 38-40 bucks vice 91 for 65-70 bucks LOL.

Good to hear you made it safely. I'm sure i'll see you around the NWS sometime.

Thank you, and currently Im right outside the gate on Rhemount over at the SRC building conducting some testing.

Let me know when you feel like coming over and having a few cold ones.

WIll do...dont drink anymore, but we can damn sure turn some wrenches and tell some lies. I need to do a minny mod day this weekend...just some post long haul maint.....oil change, oil filter, clean air filter, clean MAF...etc.

Glad you had a safe trip.
Please let Mike see the J&S system soon so he can turn the heat up on his truck without hurting something now that he is his own tuner. I am very interested in some of the testing he is planning on doing.

Not a lot of testing to do really with this setup...getting it dialed in is the toughest part and its nto all that hard.

All the testing that I did was to ensuree that John got all the programming correct..and the only way to do that was setup the truck as shitty as possible LOL...all the worst case scenarios that could happen we had to induce. The ones that you cant control and no tune can compensate for on the fly.

The system is not designed for anyone to go out and tune their truck over the edge and then let it do its job and keep everything in once peice. Its designed to cover your ass when the unexpected occurs and protect your motor.

But Anyone and all can come and see it....its worth the cost that is for sure. :)
