soulja620 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Congrats on the pickup Sir~! Ive seen quite a few 20yr capts so Maj in 11 is quite impressive. I think our CO is up for Col soon after 21yrs are you a Mustang? Does that make a huge difference on promotions/cutting scores??? If I do end up staying in, BLUE side would be a must for me, That kinda money, and a 20yr work career is way too appealing... Just dont know if I can tolerate the Control over my life. What do you fly??? Any "trademark nickname"? lol Our AMO (maj) is one motivated sonofagun and makes us work weekends alot > lol, what other billets you hold??? Congrats again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats again I'm a mustang but it doesn't effect promotion, except perhaps by making me a better officer in some ways. I fly hornets so the truth of the matter is that if you can fog a mirror and you haven't dated the general's daughter then you'll probably get promoted. It was touch and go on both of those for me at one point. I'm at a test squadron now so my billet is F/A-18 A-F pilot and operational test director.

chiplee Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've noticed that since he has a new woman that he is barely on here anymore...someone is putty tang wooped Happy to admit that I'm wooped, or whipped, or whatever, but it's not the "putty tang". It's everything about her. She is literally everything you could possibly imagine finding in a woman, as well as a list of things you never had the creativity to dream up and hope for, and I have a vivid imagination in this regard, trust me. The truly amazing part is that I'm basically borrowing that line from her. She used it to describe me to her mom. Right now I'd be crazy to spend much time on here, but I would be on more often from work if I could type normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 na Chip isn't geting soft it's more like he's gona turn into mush he's about to find a world he never imagine'd exist'd , his armor is gona shatter , his knee's will buckle , his chest will feel like a truck ran him down and thats just the begining he's deff start'd to morth into a mortal man :biggrinumbrella1: Super Man is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatch Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 so when does she trun 18..lol Just kidding thats how i feel about my wife ( most of the time) were going on 9 years 2gether 5 married (this st Patties Day) congrats on the girl.. sounds like its easier to get promoted than find a good girl these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) he's deff start'd to morth into a mortal man :biggrinumbrella1: Super Man is dead And happy about it. We basically just made it official that she's moving in. We've been talking about it all this week, but I asked her this morning and she said yes, she wanted to live together and she didn't care any more than I did about what people would think or say. Not living together just feels completely unnatural to us both. She could have any millionaire so I know she's not after my money, besides she makes her own. We're basically just on top of the world right now. I got promoted. She just got hired on base by Booze Allen Hamilton and will start at $40k/year on 9 March. Her secret clearance was granted, which was the only thing that could have stopped her from getting the position. Our combined household income is going to be like $185k gross when my bonus kicks in. We both just feel like everything has fallen perfectly into place for us to meet at this specific time under these specific circumstances. You all know I don't believe in fate, but I will admit the repeated coincidences are killing me. I'll admit something else too, mostly for shelby's sake based on previous conversations we've had. Anyone who doesn't at least seriously wish there could be an afterlife has never loved. One lifetime just doesn't seem like it'll be enough time with this girl. I've gained some first hand perspective as to why some people simply HAVE to believe this isn't all there is to it.

jszucs Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 hahaha Ok I feel better now. Have you seen that new Bill Maher movie Religulous? It's prety cool. I think you would like it.

It sounds like the both of you have found your Soul Mate. It does not happen often, but when it does; WOW!! As for caring what people think, - my oldest daughter lived with my son-in-law for 9 years before they tied the knot. Hell, they lived in my house for a year, while they were both finishing their college graduate degrees. It worked out for me cuz I was not there that often, and they took care of the place. The family did not care they were living together, cuz he is a good guy and loves and takes care of her. In other words, to he!! with what other people think! It sounds like life is really coming together for the both of you. Congratulations on finding each other and you making Major. Usually when an officer is promoted (at least when I was in the Navy, back when Christ was a kid) they are transferred to a new duty station in 6 months or so. Is that in the future for you? Congratulations to your Mom & Dad too. They have to be bursting their buttons because of you making Major. Good Luck to you and yours and may the future work out the best for each of you. KEN AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! To be young and in love again!!! Nah, I'll just stay the grouchy old man that I am. But I do have a girl friend or two.

We both just feel like everything has fallen perfectly into place for us to meet at this specific time under these specific circumstances. Great! That should be just enough to cover the wedding (which includes flying us all out to Vegas for a week.) LOL Congrats on everything. BTW its a great time to have extra disposable income. Lots of great deals out there for those who can afford them. Like used high end cars... my friend works a high end used car dealer and he says he cant believe how cheap they are getting and selling these cars.... Porches, Mercedes, BMW's etc. and they are selling a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed this until now, Ken. no, as a pilot it won't be grounds for a transfer. Congratulations to your Mom & Dad too. They have to be bursting their buttons because of you making Major. Good Luck to you and yours and may the future work out the best for each of you. KEN AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! To be young and in love again!!! Nah, I'll just stay the grouchy old man that I am. But I do have a girl friend or two. I'd like to be "young" and in love again, too, Ken. I'll settle for being in love with someone young. If we get her pregnant right now I'll be 51 when the kid is 18, and we want 2 or 3 kids, and would like to wait a year or two to start "trying". That puts me easily in my mid 50s with kids still at home , perhaps 60 and then almost guaranteed not to get much time with my grand kids, or perhaps none at all if they wait as long as me, which for their sake I kind of hope they do. Everything is a trade off I guess. If we can wait 2 years I'll probably never have to do another military move after they're school age. Wouldn't mind being a crusty old retired Marine Colonel when chumps try to date my daughter. This girl will make ridiculously beautiful babies, even in spite of my ugly mug.

Shelby Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 my only advice is the younger you are the better it will be later , there isn't enought money to make me give up the years i had camping and fishing with my grand children , i've seen very few rich poeple that were happy no matter how much money they had, it's never enought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
