kenji_guns, Shoot me an email and I'll put you in contact with someone who's stationed there. Some of your Q's shouldn't and more than likely won't be answered on this board due to OPSEC reasons. capche-capche da - we go forward together Faugh ah Ballaugh -Clear The Way- |

I am sooooooo sorry for you man, I'm fixing to leave this hole in about 2 weeks. But it's not <i>all</i> bad. At least I appreciate Pope more now than I did before I came here. Email me and I'll do my best to answer any Q's. Without ME, it's just AWESO |

Hey Jackb I just emailed you. Fellas I know some people who worked the A10, and some people who were at Osan. They gave me some idea of what it will be like. Just want some more opinions, Im not trying to get the daily flying schedule or some shit like that on the forum. Just trying to get some opions on how the A10 world might differ from the 16 world. Maybe how Osan is shopping, bars, 12 hour shifts? What I might expect as a new Tech, just general info nothing that might compromise OPSEC. Anyway right now Im stuck in Holloman on this stealth piece of shit. Cant wait to get the fuck out of here, even if it means leaving my family for a year. |

It depends on your rank, techs usally go to the trucks, or prodject managers ect. High ranking staffs may go to the truck. Majority of staffs are line bosses, and dccs. airmen go to the line. long hrs lots of bars and shopping. fri sat 0100 hr curfew (very strict)rest of the week 1200. You will live in the dorm. Airmen share rooms, ncos share kitchen and restroom. SNCOs own room. get ready for long hrs. Other than that if you get here in may you may get my job. get muddy Edited by - koobster on Sep 11 2004 01:49 AM |

Kenji - Sent you an email, should answer your questions, but if you have any more, let me know. MadMax - I just sent you my address. Dice - Sorry man, but 13 months is enough for me. But I know alot of folks here from my last base who just got here, so I should still be able to hook it up over here for at least another year. And it's all attitude, son't look at it as loosing an Osan contact, you're just gaining an Eielson one. Without ME, it's just AWESO |

Another question it seems I might have some kind of enroute training. I think its some knid of A10 familiarization anybody know what this class is all about. Is it just general systems or in-depth hands on kind of stuff? |

Kneji_guns Are you a F-16/117 Crew Chief? If so, it should be nothing more than a hot training course. Teaches you the basics, ie launch/recovery thru-flight, danger areas of the aircraft.... capche-capche da - we go forward together Faugh ah Ballaugh -Clear The Way- |

All the U-2 guys in the 25th who came from Beale with no prior A-10 experience were sent to Pope for like 2 weeks for some stuff, but not hot-training like A-10 folks have at DM. From what I heard from them, it was all classromm stuff, nothing on the flightline. I don't know, maybe THe split up popel equally between DM and Pope? Do you know where you have to go before getting to Osan? Without ME, it's just AWESO |

No dont know where the training is going to be. Just got my assignment briefing last week and they said I would need enroute training. So I figured the only thing it could be was some kind of A10 familarization. |
