What was your Rate or MOS in the military????

[Shodown]

11M3B, C-130 pilot, Elmendorf and Pope, OIF, OEF, and OEF-P. Out of AD now, work at alma mater-Rocky Mountain School for Wayward Boys and Girls

I know a few dudes who were at Pope and Elmo. Elmo sounded like a blast, but its on the BRAC list

Do you guys offer ride alongs?

Of course! Just grab a set of Multicams, a rifle and hop on

We got ride alongs all the time....only they were 1 way. Couldn't tell if AF was being nice to us, or being mean and kicking us out for eating their food.

LOL

I've got unwavering respect for the Army dudes because they pull way longer rotations than we do and have a tougher job. I dont care if they eat all the food at Ali al Salem, Kuwait...it was horrible. Bagram on the other hand...mmm BBQ.

Only thing I know is I'm going in as 0600
