Dan, Just chamber another round and shoot it out!!!---Just kidding of course!!! I'm sure you have already field stripped the pistol, removed the barrel, and driven the bullet out from the rear with a wooden dowel by now!! I have done that many times due to people's careless reloads, but wouldn't have guessed Mag Tech ammo would would have one like that!!! I would guess that they will question whether it was actually their ammo if you tried to make a stink about it! But, I would still let them know about it with pictures!! Being your carry weapon is the worst part of the story. Maybe you should consider getting a cane gun since a canes have been mentioned here recently!! By the way, I am glad you didn't have that happen when it was needed in a critical situation!! Now, let's get started on that 12ga. cane gun!, Ken

Yeh mongo, you are definitely right about that! I knew I wanted to be a part of acft. maint. when I saw the trainer at Shepperd--"what a beauty" Ken
-
Chris, I just got done looking at your new pics in the users gallery and it looks like #877 and it's old crew chief are both --ready for an "on time block" Ken
-
Well said Casey. And thanks to your perseverance you have managed to keep this place running!! Ken
-
Yes, Lowry, how could I forget that place! I went there for Weapons & Munitions School and somehow ended up at Shepherd in Turbo Prop Acft. Maint.

Hey Giz , so you got to meet Chris! He's not a bad guy--for an older gentleman that is! I don't know what Mary sees in him!!!! As far as you being real, I will wait to see what Chris says! I suppose he will have some pictures!!! Isn't it neat that some of the guys on this forum are getting to meet each other!!! Maybe someday we can have a Forum reunion!!! Well anyway, Ken
-
Just thought I would bring this to the top! Maybe we can lure in some of our old friends who are just browsing!!! Ken
-
Chris, have a nice trip, take lots of pictures and say hi to Giz Ken
-
Boy, I don't know about that!!! I know the guy and it might go to his head!!! Really james, I don't think it would be a bad idea!! I don't think Chris would agree! Ken

Great job Casey, When I joined this forum 5 years ago, I had no idea it would become such an important part of my life!!! I have met a lot of great guys through this forum and even one personally! (that would be you Chris) aka tinwhistle!! I hope you can keep us ALL together for another 5 Ken

Thanks guys, You have all answered my question. When I started Tech School at Shepard I was assigned to AFSC 43131F--and of course didn't know what it was until the 1st. SGT looked it up for me and it said Turboprop Acft. Maintenance!! Of course, that didn't help much as I had never heard of a C-130!! I did know what a B-47 was though!! Larry, refresh my memory--when I passed my 3-level training at Naha, I became a 5-level! What were the requirements for a 7-level and then the 9-level!! I don't know if I ever knew anybody with a 43191F rating!! Now's the time to be asking those questions-----I should have known them when I was in!!! Ken Oh, I now remember that it took a 7-level to sign off a Red X !!!! (I think)

I still have the Blind Bat cap that I was wearing in my crew picture in 1968! (in my "users gallery") Ken
-
Sonny, I am sure I knew him, but without a face, I wont know for sure! Do you have him in any of your pics? I was looking at a guy in the mirror the other day, and was sure I knew him but can't remember his name!!!!!! I think I knew him at Naha though! Ken
-
I have a question to all of you former jet engine bomber guys. What was your AFSC when you left your schools? What did it take to cross-train to the turbo prop AFSC? Just FTD school or was there more schooling other than OJT? Ken
-
I don't recognize any of the guys, but I do recognize the airplane and the missile site and "easy area" in the background!! Ken
-
Well said Sonny! From a 21st "wanna-be"---------NOT!!!! Ken
-
Duh, that's easy! You're the best lookin one!!!!!!!
-
Hey Sarg, I remember hearing that song I think!! I think at that time some of the Blind Bat guys were wearing the black beret!!!! When I was on a Blind Bat crew in 68, nobody was wearing them!!! Am I correct in thinking the words were in reference to the Blind Bat mission?? By the way, welcome to the forum, Ken
-
Sam, Yes there was a difference in the four squadrons!!!! The 35th had me, and Sonny always wished it had him too!!!!! What do ya say to that Sonny!!!! Ken
-
Chris, nice looking group! Too bad you guys couldn't fine a Herk to pose on!!!!! Ken
-
Dallas, that is one fine desktop!!! I have a C-130 screensaver on mine!!! Ken
-
Muff, I guess I should check it out more often. As you know, I have already joined that forum but have not spent much time on it. Thanks for reminding me, Ken
-
Dan, I'm sure one of the guys will be able to help you with the doctor stuff! I would just like to know how you can take all of the pain and misery you have experienced since I met you. (on the forum)!!! Hang in there and get better----again! Ken You need to get better to help me park the C-130 I have coming to park on your property!!!!!!!!
