So, I've been MIA on the forums for quite a while. I pop in now and then and read some threads, but for those who remember me, I thought id update. I passed my airframe mechanic oral and practical exams! I have my freshly printed temporary airmen certificate for a mechanic with the...

Hey, Thanks for all the great input. Only reason for 9mm is that it seemed like a common size and seemed generally cheap ammo wise. Probably small enough my wife wouldn't have too much trouble with it too. As far as handguns, I've only shot my grandpa's .44 revolver as a kid. Helluva...

I had no interest until college. Was going to school for aerospace engineering and took a flight test class. We went flying, did some stalls, stability and performance related calculations and I wanted more.

I was reading in my cars owners manual and a Chilton manual I have, and it mentioned an "FL22" type engine coolant. I have no clue what "FL22" means, and I've gone to Autozone and an Oreilly Autoparts and no coolant bottle they sell on the floor has FL22 anywhere on it, and when I asked a...

Just thought I would update this.... I sucked it up and bought a suit (well, not quite, I bought some nice stuff, shirt/tie/sports coat at Mens Warehouse) I had my first actual interview March 18th, and I GOT A JOB OFFER!
