SFAS 07-08

Visited that revered building over on McComb today.

SFAS class 07-08, 03Jun2008.

As a correction to myself for not being online upstairs today...Andre is going at the same time. We decided to do our best to go together and 'buddy up' to keep morale just a bit higher.

Cheers!

Mick

P.S. Yes, Crip, it's much overdue and I'm not getting any younger.

You aren't going to try and BREAK HIS RECORD are'ya?!?!?!?!

Also, your input and involvement in the Med areas in here do speak highly of your intentions!!

Take care.

3 June is plenty of time to train up...be sure to ramp down the training the last week prior so you've had plenty of recovery.
Make your own luck!

As for sofmed beating my record, I am pretty sure he will have beaten my record before he gets thru SUT...

Hey, guys, I'm a little in the dark about this whole "record" thing. A little light shed on the subject would be appreciated.

For those, like Mick, who are late to the party, I spent 1095 days in the SFQC from the day I reported to SOPC-1 to the day I graduated...

Mick, given what I know about your time at the SOPC Med-shed, you will more than beat my time in the SFQC by more than 365 days...

Peviously posted in ISOFAC area...Good News and Bad News

The Bad news...I won't be attending SFAS now until Sep. (class 11-08) of this year.

The Good News...Due to some family issues dealing with my 13 yr old son who has previously resided with my former wife in another state, I will be traveling to pick him up and bring him home this Sunday. Not just for the summer, but for good. I'm hoping his older brother will want to stay as well. There are deep seated issues dating all the way back to 2000 and my divorce from their mother and they have finally come to a head. I am simply overjoyed to be able to have my son back in my home where I can mentor and guide him in the way he should go, as that was most definitely NOT happening where he's been.

I will continue to train up for SFAS, but for now my son comes first. And in light of all of this, I thank each one of you here, QP's especially, for your support, advice and understanding of both the road I've chosen (to become SF qualified), and the responsibilities I am required to face first as a father.

Wishing you the best!

Mick
