Man, the AF leaves you guys in one spot for a long time. At least you're going to a free state.Frank

Yeah it's not normal though. Crew chief on c-5s, so I've been stuck for a while. Now I get to go work on b-52s. Can't wait, plus the gun laws out thee are gonna be great.Comment

Peace demands solutions, but we never reach living solutions; we only work toward them. A fixed solution is, by definition, a dead solution. The trouble with peace is that it tends to punish mistakes instead of rewarding brilliance.Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys appearing inept?Comment

Good luck dude! From what I've heard from people that were stationed there it's a really small town. I'm a fellow Crew Chief currently stationed at Ellsworth AFB working the B-1. I hear that C-5s are pretty much pigs. You should have a pretty good time with the buff from what I keep hearing about it's maintenance being cake compared to the Bone.
EDIT - BTW... How is Travis? I've been trying to get orders and Travis has been on my BOP list for a while.Comment

good luck man, i don't want to scare you but minot is not the greatest place
they're standing up a new command right now for the B-52's. That plane is good to work on, but you're gonna have to be there while they iron out all the wrinkles in this new command. They're trying to get a bunch of us there too, I'm fighting it with all my might. I'm a 2A5X3A Bomber Avionics. Again good luck, and make sure you get a block heater for your vehicle, or a snowmobile to drive to work
