Sorry I didn't respond here earlier CasheKicker. Still getting used to these new fangled features.
I was talking to Mr Billy Bennett the other day and I have to say it sounds like the hanger has gone to hell in a handbasket. Bad enough when the CO is completely aircrew oriented, but when the SAMEO is as well it's only a matter of time before every bird in the hanger is broken, and none of the techs are particularily keen on going the extra mile to get them fixed.
Good luck if you decide to get out... I decided that 25 years was the absolute mininum pension I wanted, but hey.... you're still young.
How's that computer of yours working out? Did you ever get the Ballistix to play nice with your P35 board?
