Why Building 89 = Hell...
- Thread starter NeoCortex
- Start date
KBay, the sim bay here at whiting is nothing like Building 89.
Corpus = sometimes as few as 4 sims working on a given day and no sims set aside for just CPTs so they are packed.
Whiting = sims as far as the eye can see... and the old guys sit far enough away that they can't rip open the canopy.

Yeah, Shooters don't do standby, and in TRAWING-5 if you miss a sim, stand by to get a SOLID chewing and other troubles...never missed one, but definately have seen it. Maybe that is why TRAWING-5 has no sim standby.
The only standby for flying I had in VT-6 I put myself on, just hoping SOMEONE would cancel.

For all of you that are waiting to start the pipeline...don't let any of this taint your desires to go to primary one location or the other. IT WILL ALL CHANGE... the wait times, the lengths of the pipeline, the """"better"""" squadron, which squadron has more standyby, which squadron has better % of getting jets...etc etc
For an example, when I went through Corpus there was absolutely no wait to start primary. VT-28 had no sim standby but was known for it's sim "double-pumps" and 28 guys were getting through the syllabus 4-6 weeks faster than 27 guys at the time. Several months after I left it flip-flopped.
Back on topic, I still vividly remember the Bldg 89 smell, instant depression every time I walked into that Bldg....smelled like coffee and dead people.

Don't forget the crusty old lady downstairs, who's niccotine laced breath you could actually SEE come out of her mouth. She always appeared friendly, but it always seemed like there was a royal bitch waiting to go ballistic at a moment's notice.
CircleK, you're right about the old guys being so close in Corpus. I had the canopy yanked open and was smacked in the helmet a few times by one old dude in particular. Not that I didn't deserve it, mind you.

Thats debatable. I love how the commisary is about the size of a Circle K in Corpus.

And she was never able to answer my questions. I don't know what her job was, cause she wasn't helpful at all. I asked about the lost and found box/shelf one day and she just looked at me like I was crazy and speaking German.

Had to have been all those years of niccotine and mothball fumes in Bldg 89. Her brain was rotted out. Either that, or she just didn't like SNAs, which is a distinct possibility, given her severe disdainful looks whenever I asked for the PROFSIT book on the (very) rare occasion that one was available. I think I got 5 total PROFSITs the entire time I was there.
