[Coastypop]

Is Yankee still trying to get to Alaska? What you doing, walking?

how many more do you need to get your star and wreath ...and will you be able to get them knocked out before you leave Alaska and get to Campbell

I need a night AJ duty and 10 more jumps for my star. I would need 45 jumps for the wreath.

I'm actually trying to extend for a year up here now that I'm a Jumpmaster. So my orders to Campbell would be deleted. I could easily get my star if my extension doesn't get approved. I'd have to chase hard to get my wreath if my extension gets approved.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well looks like my extension won't happen.

 

[joevol33]

Sorry.

 

[malinoisvol]

Well looks like my extension won't happen.

Off to Campbell?

 

[YankeeVol]

Off to Campbell?

That's the plan

Now I gotta chase jumps to get my star before I leave

 

[YankeeVol]

First AJ duty today. I will be baselined rather quickly, less than a month (you have 6).

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

:good!:

 

[YankeeVol]

Finally got my Japanese Wing certificate

Finally got my Japanese Wing certificate

Good job Yankee.

 

[vol_in_ar]

nicely done, Yank

Good luck getting the next 10 in to get your star...

 

[YankeeVol]

Thanks. Should be relatively easy

 

[Toujours Pret]

Ahhh, the good old days before things went sensitive
