For those of you who are good at reading the age of teeth. How old was this guy before he ended up on my wall.

i'm no master at this AT ALL, but i'll guess. they are worn down pretty good so i'll say 6 1/2 years old.

i'm useing my guides for jaw bone ageing and it looks slightly more worn than the 5 1/2 picture. unfortunatley my pics skip from 5 to 9 1/2 years old

Old enough to know better but young enough to do it again.

If you wouldn't have killed him.

I didn't kill him,. According to Rose O, and the rest of the people that are anti 2nd amendment, it was my evil black rifle that did it .

don't be so hard on Rosie; ahh, never mind, be as hard on her as you want.

I need to hire you Lug... Think you are right on target with this one. 6 1/2 is where I'd put him.



Here's a 5 1/2 to compare with. Note the added wear on the crests of all of the molars on FM's deer. One year of extra wear..equals 6 1/2..

i would give up the military in a heartbeat to have your job Cap!!

Thanks guys for your help.... Now I know how old he was when my 300WM went off all by its self and shot him through both lungs and his heart.
Lug What do you do for Uncle... I'm assuming the AF if your in NW FL.
While I'm asking, how about you Cap.

jonny; i'm a radio operator onboard the MC-130P "combat shadow"

if i'm not mistaken Cap is a wildlife biologist.

gotcha.. Thats a nice little base your stationed out of. I"ve gone TDY a few times just done the street from you @ Tyndal. How many YOS do you have in? I'm waiting on my E-7 then I will probably pull the pin. My Mrs says I'm to old to go out and play with the young bucks and I hate to say it but I'm one of the old farts now. We are getting kids in our shop now that I have more YOS then they have years of life...

i joined in 99 after a year of college. i'll roll over 9yrs this coming april. i'll be testing for E-6 this year for the second time. last years test was less than impressive . Technical Sergant is a hard rank to make but i hear the pay increase is very nice


what is that you do firemedic?

I started out working as a flight line ape on F4D's in 85. Converted to 16's in 90. Saw one of the F4's I used to work on when I was TDY down @ Tyndal during the mid 90's. It was doing Drone duty... Now I'm a F16 Avionics Intermediate Shop weinie. I'm one of the back shop geeks that run avionics boxes on our test station computers.

"line ape" "weinie" "back shop geek"

Yep, that sounds about right Crazy Johnny!

I'ld say he is his harshest critic.

i would love to be on the maintainance side of the house. my job is very close to a comm nav job except i do the fixing in the air instead of on the ground.

are you guard or reserve or active duty? i'm trying to find a good guard unit that would except me

I'm guard. Was activated for a year after 911. Been to Iraq x2, have bounce around the globe now and then on TDY's. Its not to bad of a gig..... for a young guy.

do you know of any openings for an AGR position there? i don't care what the job is. i would love to leave this active duty mess behind and get to a nice area and stay for the rest of my life. i'm tired of moving

You have mail....



AGR around here are few and rare.... We have a base comander who has said there will be NO MORE AGR's. They have even threatened to fire a shop chief if he hired a person as an AGR....



So much for equal opertunity employer. I once tried to get employed up here full time, but nepetism won out and I never got hired .... Looking back now I'm glad I'm not a full time Tech here.

that's interesting. i would think AGR slots would be incouraged



sorry to hear about the ORI. we just got done with one and it was pure h@ll

I'm actually planning on being a wildlife bioligist myslef cap.... not to highjack the thread htough, but what part do you specialize in?
