Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
Rob,
Are you up for an O-6 promotion? I think I read that you were a Navy squadron commander. Is that an O-5 billet in the Navy. That was the norm when I was in the Air Force. Most of the O-6s I was familiar with in the Air Force were promoted from squadron command slots. Last edited by rstrick; 06-08-2008 at 12:56 AM. |

I'm up for O5. It's an O5 billet (Navy Operational Support Center Commander), but I got lucky enough to get it as an O4. Hopefully, the results will be out next week.

Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
I'm having a hard time picturing an O-ganger as a hands on mechanical type. It just won't work in my head. I knew officers that had nice cars, even older ones, but none of them were gearheads of any kind. If you tell me there are others like you, I won't believe it without pictures of a bunch of grimy officers working on some greasy piece of machinery. No MM's around either.
Good luck on the promotion.

Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
Since I started this by asking Hart_Rod about his promotion I will have to say that a number of the gear-heads I knew in the Air Force were officers. I was enlisted and spent most of my time in a flying squadron. Our crews were three officers and two or three enlisted. It tends to give a different perspective for both officer and enlisted working in that type of environment.
I've been off-topic here way too much. I am waiting to see how the project turns out. I'll never be able to build one for physical reasons so I live vicariously through seeing others make these trucks shine. |

Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
Rob, i see you finally got retirement papers in. Welcome back out west. I was also really glad you were able to sell your 52. Keep me posted on the progress, of your latest build. Do you live out in your shop? On a sadder note, i just lost the 2nd athlete that i've coached, in Iraq. He was only in country for 2 months. Later, and enjoy retirement.

I know plenty of gearhead officers. We had plenty of academic wool jacket types but we also had plenty of people who had no problem getting their hands dirty. I agree with you that stereotyping usually doesn't work very well...

Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
I'm guessing Mark does that on all of them.
Thanks! Thanks! It's going to suck having to put it in storage for a year or so, but I should be able to finish it in about 6 months when I finally pull it out. It's definitely a truck that would not be easy to replace............. ![]() R/

The parts are in NM, but I'll be making several trips to OKC and probably one to Pensacola sometime this fall. If you're interested in something, shoot me a PM. As far as the promotion, I didn't make it. The numbers were really bad this year, only 41 people promoted. Of those, 17 were above zone and only 24 in zone actually promoted (most of those guys had bosses with a few more stripes than me, ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 67 SWB Crewcab....Building the Beast, aka Donkey!
Rob,
Too bad about the promotion. But with the MBA and your experience you should not have a problem finding a good job. The one I finally settled on was teaching business at a community college. Pretty good gig, for me at least. Spent 15 years at it and retired - again. |
