Robocop1051 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 That's an awesome career. Welcome to our hang out. Our greeter, 98Z5V, will be in contact with you soon. What kind of helicopters do you fly?
Retired JM Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Welcome to the site, BigT. Thanks for your continued service. While you've only got 12 in, start thinking about retirement NOW, particularly as it concerns your med records. VA is a bitch to deal with.
bigt77 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome. I fly the UH60 Blackhawk, the only "real" helicopter in the Army... j/k. I can only hope with the way we are downsizing, I get the option to retire. They are already preparing us, telling us that a lot of good officers aren't going to make the cut- no reflection of them or their service, just a sign of the times. I have a couple more years before my time comes though. As far as the VA goes, I have had a few good mentors that taught me to "get it documented" no matter how trivial the injury.
blueglide Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 Retired Lt...GRPD Mich...30 years...enjoying a normal life again! :)

bigt77 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 I occasionally get to fly with some of those guys that have been in for 30 years or so and have 6 or 7 thousand hours in a helicopter. Usually a year or so before they retire and I'm always impressed, all of them have forgotten more than I have learned.
BLKSHEEP Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 My biggest regret in life is not joining the military(too old now) I respect the hell out of y'all!! and thank you for your service!! <thumbsup>
98Z5V Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 USAF for 18.5 yrs. 8yrs with AFSOC. Actually thinking about being a dumb ass and going back in. <lmao>Was that 8 Reserve years, or 8 Active years? In AFSOC, specifically.Note for all other military and LEO members - we'll be going through some different verification standards here now, for the MIL/LEO access, than we've done in the past. I'll post those standards as soon as I can, and let everyone know. This has been in the works for awhile, and as soon as we solidify everything, I'll get the decision up here. Fear not. <thumbsup>

mrraley Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 On one of the other boards that I am on has this same type of thing.For the MIL, they have guys send in a copy of their DD214 and ask them to black out the SSN. For the LE guys, they send in a copy of their creds. This way the boards are seperate. But it's a thought.... <dontknow>
