Enjoy your Airman days bro!!! Haha. Being a SSgt is about perfect in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, life as a SMSgt is pretty chill, but it's very boring at times too. I miss launching loaded jets and watching them come back empty.
Here is a pic from 2 weeks ago on the morning I left Joint Base Balad, Iraq. This motley crew was our Sq supervision, Chief on the right, 3 SMSgt's and 2 MSgt pro-supers. Basically all the old dudes.
Rjohnson, the AF is a very small place, the second pic is a guy I worked for when I was a SSgt and he was a MSgt. Ten years later he is a contractor (making crazy money) and I'm still AD and we bump into each other in freakin Iraq...what are the odds? Small AF world.
Don't miss that place much.
