Introduction

[Duck]

Hello,

 

I'm Duck, but I also go by 6PS on FA, and Megalemon on dA. I've been drawing since high school and been into tabletop games for about the same amount of time. I also like to wrestle, lift, and play the drums.

I'm 21, male, from California, and I'm in the navy, where I work on F-18's. I'm mostly here in the interest of getting into more games, though my schedule can be a little wonky due to work. Nice to meet you all.

Hey man, glad you came. Welcome to the forums!

You work on F18s?? Dude that's fucking awesome, it doesn't matter if it doesn't sound as exciting as piloting them (imho), it's still pretty badass

Ah, and welcome to the forums

Haha, you hit the nail on the head. It's not as exciting as piloting them, and that's always what people think when I mention jets. I don't fly around and kill terrorists, I just turn a wrench for an aircraft that breaks a lot lol.

8 years, nice! So you must be an... E-5 by now? I just picked up E-4, but I've heard it's much harder for you guys to pick up rank than us. To be honest I couldn't do any more than 4 in the navy. I'm only halfway through my contract and I'm already so over the bullshit haha.

So what do you do in the AF? Are you a mech too?

I'm still E-4. More rank, more problems. And yeah I'm a maintainer too. Electronic and environmental systems, which is not as fancy as it sounds. I've worked on the B-52, U-2, and shortly on the F-16. Currently I'm working at an AFREP, which is a navy program that repairs assets before they hit DRMO. It mostly involves repairing circuits boards and other electronics.

Glad to have you aboard! Hope you enjoy your stay here on Phoenixedville

Sounds like you're doing AT/AE work. I know at least that your job's a bit more complicated than mine haha. I'm jealous you got to work on a variety of dope ass aircraft, 18's get boring FAST when you're around the same old jets every day. And they are old, I think they're like lot twenty-something. I know one of our jets is something like the 11th super hornet ever made? Our squadron has some kinda boner for fixing up old planes. I think they think it impresses Big Navy.

What aircraft they got you working on now, and do you like it?

Have a good time posting.

I'm in a backdrop repairing parts as a special duty. I'm not sure what I'll be doing after. Hopefully I won't transfer to F-35s.

Now I'm no plane expert, faaaaaaar from it, but I heard the F-35s are very defective...? Don't know if that's true or not

 

 

 

On another note, I gave a look to your gallery, Duck, and you got some pretty nice drawings, they're cool

[LadyRadarEars]

Here haz a welcome fennec :3

[DrDingo]

Heyo and welcome

I'm guessing you've probably located the games section, but anyways it's Three Frags Left. A place where you can find people who play what you play, add them on stuff and lah-de-dah

Have fun!

I've heard the same. Apparently F-18 can outfly the F-35 and it's cost billions of dollars to produce. Now, it does have vertical takeoff like the Harrier, but so far it seems like it's just been a bust.

No, just more conceited.
