Sorry, I thought I had told you I’m now in OKC doing en-route instruction.

One of the instructors here has a son who just placed and was sent to ZME. Great work ethic and attitude, hopefully things click for him there.

Oh cool, I didn’t know that. Is that a temporary thing or full time? I didn’t know they had FAA people there except for evaluators.

Not familiar with those initials, so must be in a different area.

Sounds good, send us all the good ones!

I’m on a two year instructor assignment. Right now I’m just in the radar lab, but will soon be going through non-radar and training as a classroom lead. I’ve been having a blast. Love teaching and the M-F 7-3 probably saved my marriage. I think I’ll have an opportunity to go permanent, but giving up pay and retirement benefits will make it a tough choice.

Do you get to count this as good time or not?

If you see an instructor named Chuck that’s a big Mississippi State fan, he was my trainer at ZME.

If I moved my wife back to OKC it would probably end mine lol. I didn’t mind it out there but she hated it.

Still good time since it’s a detail assignment.

What’s his last name? Chuck sounds familiar but so many of these old dudes have the same name. I work with a ton of Mem guys out here. J Walker, J Weeks, B Bidwell, T Porter, V Scott, P Chugani. I can’t come up with Steve’s dang last name, but country dude chain smoker and hilarious. Webb!

That’s good on the good time. Sounds like an interesting job.

Jones is his last name. Bidwell is from my area as well. Tell them Chugger says hey.

Most of those other ones I know too. Some interesting characters there.
