Hello Other Vets


Recommended Posts

Guest JoAnnDallas

Hello to all Vets. I served two tours in Vietnam. Both was with the USAF 6994th SS (Electric Goons). This was a TS outfit which finially was declasified in 2002. I was a combo Electronic Tech and Morse Code Intercept Tech. On my second tour I advance to Mission Commander which is funny when you consider the two pilots that flew the EC-47's took direction from me, a SSgt in the USAF. In fact until 1970 the two pilots were not cleared to what we did in back, but knew because the head was in the tail of the plane, so they had to walk past all the operational stations. LOL

Hey, JoAnn! Well was Air Force in Nam 1969-70 Loadmaster C-130! Hauled junk all over country up to and including people and farm animals. Lots of cargo low level drops right over the runway and lots of small arms fire at us....

Some how this vets forum is kind of strange while soothing at the same time. Everyone on this site has been so wonderful..........

And all the years I thought I was the only one!!!!!

Peace

JoAnn.Two PH's! WOW glad you're here! None for me although my knee was hurting today from when I slipped out the back of the C-130 and fell to my knees on the ramp! Got a "STUPID" medal for that with 2 dumbass clusters.

Just want to say thanks for being here and the support........................

Peace

Hi Y'all,

I may be the new girl in town but I have been proudly serving in the USAF since 2002. Planning on making it the full 20 if the Air Force lets me. Just hope they don't find out about the secret me. Anyways, I have been stationed at Charleston AFB, SC and now at Travis AFB, CA.

Donna Jean, you have some company on the choice of jobs. I am a Loadmaster on the new C-17's the Air Force has. We are doing a lot of the same things you were doing way back when. Only now we are carrying more, flying farthers, and still getting shot at, landing on even shorter runways, and doing lots of airdrops.

Hi, Alyssa Michelle!

So nice to meet ya! (I know that this isn't too girly but....) C-17 is way cool! I would have loved to been load on that! I was also loadmaster on the good 'ole C-141 and got to see the world in that bird...mostly out of Maguire back on the 141...

Jeesh, if I had stayed in 20 I'd been out now and then some, but, after 'Nam I just wanted away from it all. I ended up in the aviation field for a long time anyway,,,love planes.

Shoot me a PM and we can talk some........... :)

all my best to you, dear...

Peace

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In my opinion, the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am is the omission of such honorifics.   "Excuse me, sir" becomes simply, "Excuse me", or better yet, "Excuse me, please."   "Yes, ma'am" becomes "Yes", or depending on the context, "Yes, it would be my pleasure" or "Yes, that is correct."   Else, to replace it with a commonly known neutral term such as friend, or credentialed or action-role-oriented term depending on the situation such as teacher, doctor, driver, or server.   And learn names when you can. It's a little known fact that MOST people are bad with names. So if you've ever told someone, "I'm bad with names", you're simply affirming you're typical in that way. A name, just like any other factoid, requires effort to commit to memory. And there are strategies which help.

      @KymmieL it’s as if our spouses are two sides of the same coin. We never know which side will land up. Loving or Disliking.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      almost 45 min later. Still in self pity mode. I cannot figure out my wife. I shared a loving post on Facebook to my wife. Today she posts, you are my prayer. Yet, last week she puts up a post diragitory towards trans people. Does she not relate to me being trans?   ???

      Hi Ash, Welcome!!

      Well we have the white rain, about 2 inches. Work is still terrible, with me making stupid little mistakes. Yet, to the boss it is the end of the world. Still on the hunt for another.   life just still sucks for me. I just wish I could be happy for a day. I'd even settle for a couple hours.   Kymmie
    • RaineOnYourParade
      no rain here haha   Got some tea, in my AP class where we're about to discuss the "pleasant topic of mass atrocities" -my teacher   The AP test is coming up soon, so hopefully I'll be able to pass that with good marks :)

      Good morning   It sounds like everyone either got rain or is about to.   Me too, we have a double red flag at the beach (which people ignore). Storms predicted, although yesterday they stayed north west of us, today they should slam straight into us.    it seems like every day my wife does a little bit more for herself.  She still has a long way to go to be fully recovered however.  Today’s coffee did not come in a pod but it is still a single. Grounds in a replacement for the pod. Less convenient but it is just as good.  Ugh, I didn’t use enough coffee.  I’ll know better next time.  But that’s why you need to use the real thing.   another shortened day today, which is fine by me, followed by grocery shopping.  Not doing the Costco thing, neither of us want that.  Coffee pods will be on the list.   adios amigos, hi ho silver up up and away   the separated and the end of every show but we’re always together again next time on their show when the Lone Ranger needed help.
