The door to La Casa de Tbird is always open.

Thanks buddy.

I have a formal application in to take a special duty there. I can't seem to get out of Mountain Home to save my life. Back in 2015 I applied for a special duty down to Gunter AFB in Montgomery.

I didn't have the required 48 months TOS but my Wing CC was willing to sign a waiver for me. I called the listing POC to ask where I should send the memorandum and was told she had talked to AFPC and they weren't accepting any waivers because they had plenty of non-vols to "burn through" before they would take one.

I was the only volunteer, twice, and the job was vacant for a year.

They made some poor dude from Whiteman go instead and he didn't want to go. How fricked up is that?

Had a friend up at MH trying everything he could to get out. Met him at my first duty station when he finally succeeded: Altus AFB

Gunter AFB

My dad's second duty station. MY parents met at their first (Keesler AFB) then my dad drove back and forth from Gunter to Maxwell AFB when mom got stationed there (I was born at Maxwell).
