Wow it has been a while since I posted. After looking at my last stats when I originally posted I was 38 years old. I am now 42. I'm still hanging around. I've been busy with real life stuff the last few years. I recently got a job at home in Amarillo. I was actually working on the road the last four years. It's great to be home. However, I'm not there at the moment. I am currently at Kunsan AB, Korea. on a TDY.

See this link

I am proud to be able to come to Korea and be a part of the 8th AMXS Wolf Pack.

It's great to see all the Vipers flying around and doing what they do best - Intimidate the enemy. This is a very exciting time for me to be able to experience this. Nothing like seeing all Block 40's in one place. It's beautiful. My unit currently flies the Block 30's. I wanted to share this with everyone here on Viperpits. With that being said, I met Valcor last month. What an experience. It's great to meet people from the forums. Back in 2008 I got to meet and have lunch with Jason. Hooked up with Jay back in 2005 when I was living in Dallas. If you need to know anything just ask Jay. Great improvements have happened here on the site with parts over the last several years. I see more to come.

Good to hear from you Jack.  Sorry I missed your call a few weeks ago, completely forgot to call you back until I stumbled across your post.

Give me a ring when you have a chance or drop me an email, address is still the same.  I just started working back on the pit after close to 2 years off...my time flies.  I'm pushing forward this time as hard as I did last time and I will be up and flying very soon if it kills me.

Man I wished I could take pictures. They won't let us because of security reasons. I can't sneak any because they have camera's all over the base watching us if you know what I mean. If it weren't for that I would.
