Tomorrow, I will finish my NAMTRAU training specifically on F-14A,B,Ds. I am to report to my squadron on April 21st, however if I want I can report earlier.

However when I report there, I will become a line shackle man. Or I paint the aircraft, do corrision work, stand watches or let me do what I came here to do: work on ejection seats.

Hopefully, they'l put me on something other than my real job. Everyone has to do it, but if they put me into the shop, then they can pull me out during cruise and make me run up and down dodging aircraft making sure my ass isn't fried, sucked into an jet engine or cut up by one of the props. Afterall working on a carrier flight deck is considered to be among the top 10 most dangerous work places to be.

Sounds like fun.

Sorry, er, "line shackle" man?

Where is your squadron based? Are you being deployed?

You're an Airman? I thought that was an Air Force rate ... I guess, if you're assigned to a Naval Air Wing, though [Big Grin] ... you're already an apprentice? Did you graduate from Recruit when you graduated from the school? McAvoy means ... what?

I'm going to take a stab and say its his last name. I could be totally off, though.

That does make a bit of sense, I suppose.

Ejection seat specialist, huh?
Let's hope none of the flight jocks steal one of your girlfriend potentials.

-"Low-fly strafing mission over Baghdad, huh, Biph?"
-"That's right, grease monkey! Gonna rape her like a high school cheerleader, gu-haw haw! But what's it to you, chump??"
-"Oh, just curious..."
