Hey, its your friendly neighborhood j-body owner. I hope everybody has been doing well. I just graduated from the USAF Security Forces and Law Enforcement Academy and I won Distinguished Graduate so that was cool.
Got to shoot the M240-B (M60 replacement), M203 grenade launcher, and the M249-AR. Threw a few grenades...watched a few claymors go off...and went expert on the new M4 and the M16A2. :thumbsup: I missed expert on the M9 by 4 shots. Patrolling, recon, OPLP, ambush (near and far), urban combat and house clearing (felt like SWAT :-D )...d/mn -- who said the Air Force doesn't do anything cool.
The law enforcement training kicked much azz also -- but man it was A LOT of book learning. Thankfully I cross-trained out of Contracting (yes, people said I was crazy) so I was use to that. I have a new found respect for police officers, though. It feels a little different carrying a badge and wearing the beret. I was in civilian clothes last week and overhead a guy say, "I hate the f/cking police. F/ck those pricks." I actually got a little offended...lol :fm:
Best part happened when I got back. Guess who got offered 1 of 3 unit slots for Army Combat Sniper school? YEP! I'M GOING!!! :thumbsup: Its not set in stone but I've been assured of the slot once I finish Airmen Leadership school in August. :coolman:
Dated a ridicolously hot girl while I was in San Antonio. Learned that I will never drink JP-8 again (I see why its named after jet fuel). The usual TDY stuff...lol Hopefully I'll be in Iraq within a year -- I really want to serve in hostile regions. Its more Air Base Defense and less writing tickets. Anyway, I missed you guys and gals. Glad to be back. Luego!
