Long story short, I've been at Nellis since '99, going to the Kun in Feb, then follow on to Beale. 9th Aircraft MX SQ. Anyone at Beale or have worked U-2, RQ-4? I'm excited since I'm from Sacramento and all the family is still there.

Just curious how many people have made the airframe transition with the 7-level merge. How's it working out for you? I worked T-37's when I first came in for 2 years so the "old technology" is something I miss.

Several years ago the AF was talking about making the 2A373 (7 lvl) able to work on the F-16, F-15 and A-10, F-117 and I also know people working on the F-22. Looks like the U-2, RQ-4 is being added as well. Maybe they will eventually go back to the old way and the CC could be assigned to any airframe.

It will be nice to be close to home BUT Beale ranks up there with Cannon-Minot etc as far as a base. I went there six months ago to visit a friend and will never go back. 3/4 of base housing is being demolished, 1/8 barely liveable and 1/8 new..... Nothing off base compared to Vegas or Travis where I live. Did I mention you have to go to Travis hospital for anything major >70 miles away...

now as a SrA 5 level you lose your shred and are able to work any airframe. they changed the 5 level CDCs to all airframes instead of the 7 level CDCs which is now just 2AX7X. my buddy i worked with in Korea, SrA 5 level had orders to spangdahlem, even with his SEI of f-16's hes now crewing A-10's. this was probably 9 months ago when this change went through.
