hitman Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I just interviewed in Marietta, GA today. I have 3 possible positions I may work for within the next month: 1. C-130J 2. F-35 3. F-22A Im hoping for the C-130 (no security clearance, I dont need that stress), but I certainly dont rule out the other prospects. Other possibilities are working on the P-3, U-2, or other aircraft lockheed has budgeted. I just found out today from one of the F-22 crew that they have another 20 slated F-22's for the next couple yeas, even with Gates' budget cuts. The C-130 program would be pumping out the most units (I want the most hours),and I cant beat the pay. Yes, I got the job at Lockheed this morning. 1 Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.
Flyby Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 great going there, Hitman. I hope you get the assignment you most want. But if you were a true believer, you'd opt for the Raptor or the -35 so you could feed our voracious appetites for pictures (sanctioned ones of course!) :D enjoy! Flyby out 1 The U.S. Congress is the best governing body that BIG money can buy. :cry:

leafer Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Come on, man...! Take the F35 door. Get ED some classified data. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
hitman Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Come on, man...! Take the F35 door. Get ED some classified data. Yeah, and get tossed into Leavenworth for treason and possibly executed during a time of war?

leafer Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Your death will not go unappreciated my friend. You will be a hero to simmer the world over. It is worth it. Trust me. :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
hitman Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Your death will not go unappreciated my friend. You will be a hero to simmer the world over. It is worth it. Trust me. :D If I dont get to enjoy it, I fail to understand the appreciation. Besides, Im just a structural engineer, and even if I would (which I wont), the only thing I would be able to obtain is where those rivets went (if that a/c has rivets, which they wont). Since the FBI is doing a background investigation check on me at this very moment, Im going to forget this convo is happening. You can stop with this at anytime. :thumbup: Intel 13900k @ 5.8ghz | 64gb GSkill Trident Z | MSI z790 Meg ACE | Zotac RTX4090 | Asus 1000w psu | Slaw RX Viper 2 pedals | VPForce Rhino/VKB MCE Ultimate + STECS Mk2 MAX / Virpil MongoosT50+ MongoosT50CM | Virpil TCS+/ AH64D grip/custom AH64D TEDAC | Samsung Odyssey G9 + Odyssey Ark | Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro | WinWing F-18 MIPS | No more VR for this pilot.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Since the FBI is doing a background investigation check on me at this very moment....

Stickers Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Hitman are you going to be at Warner Robins? If so be careful and try and keep a good attitude while you are there. Ive been TDY to Warner to take C-17's in for Depot and I have heard some crazy things happening at that base.

Stickers Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Well I heard a couple years back an Airman murdered another Airman, not sure over what though. Think it had to do with domestic bullshit(screwing someones wife). I heard a Civilian walked himself into the HQ building sat down at the Secretary's desk and shot himself in the head. Not sure why. I also read about unsafe MX practices dealing with C-5's I believe? All about handling Depleted Uranium incorrectly. This is all unconfirmed stuff. One of the most uneventful and boring TDYs I have ever been on though! Are you doing sheet metal stuff?
