BTW Steve, should I set you up to try one this summer?

Here is a photo of my Father in law after one of his trips for filming the tv show. He is using the same gun that took a buffalo, boar, Grizzly(world record, 9'1"), white tail, and elk.

Oops, the Grizzly was a different gun, maybe the 460XVR or still a 500

what will i be doing this summer... hmmm

Well for the frist 2.5 weeks of june i'll be on leave.... can we say beach bum?

For the following 2.5 weeks i'll be doing command center shift (8 hour shifts with a 2 days off) so nothing, though i'll prolly set my rig up and try to get caught up on modeling or be working on my PL Enterprise A (the 1/350th scale one)

for the last 2.5 weeks i'll be on OPS 3rd LT somewhere (go to an AF base, and learn what the real AF is... in short a nice vacation

)... i'm hoping over seas, that would be nice

Going to Field Training for the Air Force ROTC (Think basic but for Officers) for 4 weeks at some point.
Helping build a porch for my fraternity.
Move into said fraternity at some point.

Get the garden going in May.
Start changing diapers again June.
Start digging out the crawlspace in July; one wheel-barrow at a time. Took my dad several years to go from space for his tools and junk to a full basement. Figure if I put at least 4 hours a weekend in should be done in 18 months.

Spend that money where it counts; from my 4-week experience at Dover (granted back in '88 security was abit lax) I highly suggest a midnite call to the local Dominoes will work wonders for your morale when the entire flight is up all night doing chores.

Just remember, order at leat one pizza for the security guys or they will most likely tip off the CTOs that pizza is inbound.

In that kind of situation, I'd get my base pay + the $27 for a really nice paycheck. I've worked TDY Force Protection jobs where I've almost DOUBLED my basepay through per deim.

It's all training, we don't get NCO interaction much. We have CTA (Cadet Training Aids) and FTO (Field Training Officers).
I'd explain it all but its rather boring. Suffice it to say, I'm going to bootcamp for officers.

Only the active Air Force officers can drop us now, and i believe they have to do it with us (might be wrong there).
Also, there's a limit to how much they can do it in an hour. I think the 1st week its 1 set of 10, second is 2 sets, 3rd is 3, 4th is 4 sets. THey can drop us for pushups or flutter kicks.

40 push-ups in an hour and they have to drop with? $:-\$

That ain't basic... it's a health spa! My Drills would drop us for 40-50 every time we went to sleep in a class in AIT. It sould add up to quite a sum once you included the 50-60 that you were doing every morning during regular PT- I racked up 200 in a day once!

If you couldn't complete the PU's, then you stayed in the front lean-and-rest till class was over.

That's why you're at the academy, and I go to school in Worcester.

Also, not sure about the "have to drop with you" thing. I could be mistaken. I know it was talked about.

Maybe Tus will get a case of the arselike that tank driver a few years ago and take the F-22 for a spin in the burbs and on the freeway!

We could sit and watch all the cars and trucks have their paint jobs melted off just by the exhaust alone.

BTW, it has happened, that is why we changed the engines and fuel of the M-1 Abrams. It had a nasty habit of screwing up peoples' auto paint jobs at it cruised by the motorpool.

Tankers had it made in 2 aspects, one is that you hardly had to get out of your vehicle except to piss or take a dump or eat hot chow, or at the wash rack, and two, they had some of the best heating systems in the U.S. Army. The M-113 Med track had a badarse heater, but they tended to go out often, which was a deadline according to army regs. Of course, it did not stop us from going to the field, as we were told "Just put a bunch of blankets over your patients."
