LOST JEEPS :: View topic

Well, you guys and gals have been like a family, and from the start even when it was only 10 of us the support has been tremendous, from sending care pictures from moab whenever I have been deployed during the trip (hint hint, I will be gone this year too) to the way we band together to support each other when tragedies occur, now it is that much better as we have grown! We are a wierd family, but a family none the less.

As some of you know I am a Flight Chief for Security Forces at the AF Academy in charge of all night shift police operations. I am deploying again next month, and will be back in Sep or late Aug. Now the big news, that many of the ROCKIES guys already know, I applied for a special duty... It is official, I have 12 working days left as a USAFCOP at the 10th SFS!!
I spoke with my next boss yesterday, and I have been hired to be a Military Training NCO at the AF Academy. I will get to go up to the 34TRG school and teach and mentor to develop the future leaders of the Air Force for 4 years with an option of a 5th. Then I go back to my SF ways after the tour. I will start after my reconstitution/redeployment back to the US in September, so I will most likely start in October '08. It is a huge change and opportunity for me even if it is a time away, but I guess I was good enough they are willing to meet my demands and allow me to deploy and hire me even though I am not fully qualified as I have not yet been to the NCO Academy.

So I test for promotion in Feb, get to deploy (yes I want to go back) a week after I test, while deployed finish my last 2 classes for my BSBPA, get notified of promotion line number (knock on wood), inprocess take my leave outprocess, then I get to start at a new position and make a bigger difference!!

Those who have supported me, Thank you!! Pixeldzn (Don) thanks for some of those odd hour IM chats as distractions for my studying it actually helped. Clint if you are lurking, thanks for the pics when I was gone before, Wally, Darby, and JJ thanks for the support and the many conversations and help. The rest there are many others, but obviously I cannot mention you all, especially ROCKIES guys, you know who you all are.
I am not going anywhere except the next 6-7 months, but I will pop in as I can, but I am cracking down on promotion test studying, so Jeep time will be limited.
Those of you that have served, thank you, and you understand how important this job I just got is, and now I have the opportunity to help theses young individuals to truly become what they can and should be to make America that much stronger!

Post subject:	Congratulations
The promotion is wonderful but I beleve the best part is you will be building a future by educating new young minds. To serve as you have is tribute to America but to spread your knoledge and experience to our future is a Legacy. It is truly fulfilling to serve as you have but now to educate our future Heros is exceptional. Best of luck on your deployment and God Speed. David

Colorado Springs is a nice place, then again, its hard to find a bad place in colorado, though the eastern plains come close.
