I loved being a Crew Chief. I had some great assignments and met some great people. BUT! I decided to switch to the dark side of OPS. I am currently a Flight Engineer on the Dirty Herk.
Current or Favourite assignmentBeing Stationed at Aviano was amazing. From the TDY's right down to my Apartment in Cordenons and of course the Milla Lire. Anyone who has been to Aviano knows what I mean.DeploymentsI was involved in Operations:Joint Forge Joint Guard Northern Watch Southern Watch Enduring Freedom Iraqi Freedom Noble Eagle as well as being stationed in Korea for 18 months |

| Some of the greatest times I had was with this jet at Aviano. She had a lot of gremins though. For an entire year we worked trying to figure out why it had a Viper spike at 12 o'clock. Anyone who helped will remember constantly removing and installing the left leading edge flap. What a pain. | ||||||
