Well guys I got into 197 as SNA so its been real with you 196'ers.

Cox Out


Hello Ladies and Gents,

I have some good news. So it seems that there is alot of open ground spots for 196 that have not been filled yet. My OSO seeing this started calling higher ups to see if he could push me up into one of those spots. After a long battle with other OSO's complaining and what have you he succeeded. So I was going in Jan. but now I am going 196 next week.

In short, I cannot wait to see all of you guys there. However how am I going to find you. For example, am I just going to walk up at random to each person and say, "Hi, are you Conaway, DocHoliday, Trev82 or Ground and Pound?" I wonder if I would get some weird looks?

Sick man. Well, actually you could ask, are you Conaway, since that's my last name. But I'm pretty sure if you asked someone if they were Trev82, that they would look at you like everyone looked JP in Grandma's Boy. "Dude, you're f^%&ing wierd!"

Anyway...facebook is the place man. That's how I'm going to recognize people, or just wait and figure it out. Congrats! 9 days to go and I'm getting way too nervous!

I'm pretty sure you clearly said in your thread but did you give up your pilot contract 197 for ground 196? Either way i applaud your persistance in getting over there earlier, get er' done!

Assuming everything goes well with your physicals you may be able to fly home earlier than expected. Us that went this past weekend were done by Tuesday morning and caught early flights home. Take your laptop or something entertaining cause it can get boring in the barracks. You just need your PT gear to wear under your clothes when you do anthros, unless you want to PT when your down there. Good luck
