18F Course - Page 4

abnremf · 03-20-2007, 18:48

Briefed my last project in the fox course today. Looks like I'm now officially a nerd, not just an OJT nerd. I went to TAG today but they're all out of three point slings for computer key boards and pocket protectors made out of kydex. Now it's time to go forth and do good things for God and country.

Nice,
I was just at your neck of the woods with B Co shooting the SR-25 and the 50 cal.

I just got back to my neck of the woods last night. I don't know how many times I've done that drive but it's starting to wear on me. Kansas is the worst part though. Funny story.... I stopped for the night in a town I believe is on the far western side of Kentucky. I saw a sign that said 44.95 a night for a hotel room. "Sweet" I thought. I go in and sign for my room. The red lights all over the place didn't register with me. I go into my room figuring I'll watch some t.v. and doze off. There were (no shit) 200 channels of porn and nothing else. At this point I'm confused. I walk outside and look at the sign I've apparently missed. "Adult Motel and Arcade." I went out to my truck, got my woobie and slept on top of the sheets. My SA was definitely not switched on that night. I took a half dozen showers when I got home.

I believe you may have stopped in Jelico or just across the line from Kentucky. I've been that same place and I didnt' sleep in my POV..............LMAO

I think next time I'll pay the extra 20 bucks and stay at a place I'm fairly sure won't give me crabs or Hep C.

I always sleep (in my Jeep) at the Paducah, Kentucky Wal-mart parking lot... That's my half-way point between Colorado Springs & Fayetteville.

Dude, you'll want the Viking Tactics sling for your CF-18, it allows you to cinch it up tight to your kit when going through your 3-day SSE bag. I keep my spare battery in a Blade-Tech kydex holster on my belt and keep my Crossmatch wand (which BTW I affixed a picatinny rail tool) on a dropleg platform. I found my USB mouse fits great in an EDOM strobe pouch. And of course my dongles for Ibase and ANB are around my neck with my thumb drive which has Erasure, Agent Ransack, Zapgrab, Truecript, & Steganos.

Welcome to the "geek squad"... I feel your pain.

Dude, you're seriously scaring me right now.

Did they fit you for the foil helmet yet?? I'd suggest it before you come to your 2 shop for intel synchronization....I'm one of them, so I can't be saved.

My TS contacted the NG liaison down at SWC about this, and...

18E can now attend 18F course. SSG and above. SGT needs a waiver with a good justification statement. (As per SOPO).

Has anyone heard of the Fox course being opened up to Deltas? Last I heard was that Deltas were at 98% strength, and for a while we actually had three Echoes on the team. Just wondering if anyone has current info on the matter. There's been talk of trying to send me to the Fox course, and I'm just wondering how feasible that really is.

Thanks!

Max_Tab · 03-26-2008, 14:33

I'm getting ready to attend the upcoming course. Anyone else going to be there?

Let me qualify this question before I pose it. I have been retired for 10 years now and out of the country most of it. Now I am working a contractor SFQC MTT in Hungary with a bunch of other FAGs. Anyway, one guy swears that the SFQC is producing 18Fs and there is some dispute on that. O&I was always that right of passage thing...

From most of the posts I have read here one still has to be QP (took me a few to figure out what that meant) to go to the 18 F course.

True?

IRT pipelining 18Fs, RUMINT had it that the powers that be were kicking around that idea IOT get more mileage from 18F grads. However, as of two months ago when I finished the Q, it was nowhere near implementation. If I was a betting man I would say that it is not going to happen anytime soon, but I certainly am not anyone in the know.

I went to O&I in 1979. Ended up teaching on the O&I committee (late 80 thru late 83) for about 3 years after that. Don't want to get into any OPSEC violations (seem to be tuff on those around here with good reason). edited Any responders please PM me (if this is OK?-no, it isn't okay).
My thanks. Just another old guy.

Please do not ask people to do this. The topic is classified, and as a former cadre member, you, of all people should know that we have no idea who you are or who might be sending you info about this course. I am sure lots of people on the wrong side would like to know what this course teaches. TR

Roger, Good Copy. I appreciate it.
