Originally, Supers. Now I'm at Strike Fighter Weapons School Atlantic and I teach both.

That's fucking fantastic. I studied Aeronautical Engineering at the Academy. My career path was to fly Hornets and go to TPS in Pax River. I played football for the Academy and messed up my back pretty bad and got medically DQ'ed from being a pilot. I had to go SWO. It was devastating. I enjoyed my time as a SWO, but got out after my 5 years.
What exactly do you teach? ETA: Have they launched the Growler platform yet?

Im no pilot! Anything about the interface of weapons, their controlling/release systems, or the weapons themeselves falls into my classroom. We also perform the CWTPI Inspections for the fleet squadrons throughout their various cycles. (Conventional Technical Proficiency Inspection) CWTPI RE: Your first post &/or first kudos

They were having a problem with the APU overheating. Guess they got that fixed.  That's cool, man. Weapons Systems and Avionics were among my favorite classes at the Academy.

You are definitely the first person to make a mention of an "APU" on this site! If I hadnt +1'nd you already, that wouldve been worth one. Lol
My first post was my long ass intro post/life story. It was kudo'ed by Brian37: http://atheistforums.org/thread-29638-po...#pid793949
My first rep was Parkers Tan. It's fun seeing some of the long time members' first posts on here. From baby steps to years and thousands of posts. Very cool.

I remember somebody from .com was fighting cancer (Buckster?), but he also was banned shortly after that started. The ban wasn't really that complicated. When a mod who claims to be an atheist on the atheist board Reggie and I started told a member that their dead mother was looking down on them and very proud, the last straw snapped and I realized it was time to move on. I decided to go out with a bang by pointing out the incredible amount of BS involved in such a declaration by a fellow atheist and staff member there. There were also several other behind the scenes things I knew about from my many years as the founding admin that made it impossible for me to respect the rest of the staff there any longer. Anyway, all's well here.
Hey Buck, man it's good to see you around.
Probably may not remember me but I was Fidel_Castronaut over at AF.com. I was only outside looking in, but regardless, maybe if you want a new place to hang your hat for a while this place could be it. Hope you stick around man, miss that Ghostbusters avatar. 
OK, well, thanks for entertaining my curiosity/concern on that subject. That just looked weird to this outsider (who left that board after just...well...feeling like an outsider. Different style, I guess). Welcome.
