Title: Happy Easter
Post by: Gunslinger on April 16, 2006, 03:28:02 PM
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holliday weekend.  This thread has nothing to do with the holliday itself but more of me enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I've been thinking of doing that but the deck needs a coat of sealer before the fence does.  Either way I have no clue when/if the previous owners put any sealer on it.  Some of the long peices are bowing up big time and need to be replaced but alas they are on the neighbors side.

That's right sir.  Today while it was in the high 90s my water was a nice 80 degrees.

You know... I think it would be great if we all stopped for a moment and remembered what Easter is truly about (http://thatvideosite.com/view/1477.html).

:cool:

Put on a black belt and get a skinny kid to paint your fence for you.

Does your car need waxing?

No pool here yet, and it was overcast and about 55-60 deg today.  The pools supposedly open mid-May, an outdoor one and a brand-new-refurbished indoor pool.  I'll believe it when I see it...

Man I don't think it's this hot at edwards yet.  I'm not used to this heat/humidity combo.  Around 5PM it gets the hottest of the day (breaking the 100s)

With me out working on the drill pad about half the day and even pulling retreat duty today at 1700 I'm beat.  The pool is looking mighty good again.  Too bad in my current job the only time I'll enjoy it is while on leave.

What's yer current job again?  Time on the drill pad?  Oh teh noez!!!

If you're working with the kids, teach them to quit whining and don't get married in tech school or right after graduation.  That'll solve half our junior enlisted force problems.  Drinking and getting rowdy is fine...  Just takes a creative commander who's able to sweet-talk the local cops.  Marrying another 2-stripe and popping out 3 kids sets them on the low-rent path for life, and that leads to all sorts of stuff a commander just can't do anything about.

I know I'm not a model modern politically correct kind of officer, but I'd rather bail a kid out of jail and schmooze the local sherrif or mayor than have to explain to a kid why buying diapers and a new turbo neon on his govt travel card is a bad idea, or try to come up with a flexible job schedule for a pair of 2-stripers with an infant and a second one on the way.

Some of us know when to stop digging and start filling in the hole. That makes it easier to leave that particular neighborhood. :p

Yes sir!

I got to "pre" with a zero week flight a couple weeks ago and it was a total eye opener.  I don't remember being that dumb.  I've gotten alot of good advice so far.  The best being don't just be a yeller.  You can yell but allways allways try to mentor.  The guys that just yell alot have bad flights who turn into bad leaders.  

I graduate MTI School in july and that's when I get me hat officially.  It's gonna be a long road and I hope my family will be there to give me the support I'll need.

Thursday we start PT at a brisk 0500.  So far I've polished more boots and pressed more uniforms then my whole time at edwards.
