Weapons Jersey

So here in Korea, it is common for all work areas to have some sort of Jersey to represent who they are. Kind of like gang colors to represent a gang, we have Jersey to recognize who our guys are. This evening I went out with one of the guys I supervise (my 3 man) to go get our Jerseys and to get some down right good food. We went to a bulgogi house again, but this time a different one than the other day. The food we got was the chicken bulgogi which I think is so much better than beef. I also decided to order some Yaki mandu. Unlike places back home, this lady brought us more yaki mandu when we ran out just because she was nice. They always give us more rice and today she brought out something with cucumbers just for us to try. It was different, but not bad at all. When we were leaving, the lady was nice too. She said, "here water, very hot, drink water." The ladies who run these food places do it all. She cooks, cleans, dishes, waits, everything. It's not like places back home though. Here there are like 3 or 4 tables in these restaurants. Very nice in deed. Perhaps I'll take a picture of one of these places next time.

So we picked up our Jerseys. We design them and the guy will make ANY patch for us. He does custom work and it is very cheap. All I do is print off a design and we will make it for us. We design the Jersey ourselves to represent who we are. Here are some pics of mine.

A Bit of What I Do

So if you were wondering what it is that I really do, I load bombs and missiles on the F-16s. I have a few pictures here I thought I would post. I run a crew of 3 guys (me being one of them). I am the 1 man which means I am the boss and out rank the other 2 individuals. I have a 2 man (woman) who I will start with again next week. Her job is to run the tools and prepare the jet for the bombs or missiles which ever we are installing. I also have a 3 man who checks over the bombs and gets to drive the little bomb lift which we call a jammer. This week I have been in initial certification in which I have a different 2 man for this week. Here are a few pictures.


These are a few pictures of us getting ready to take down some GBU-12s








This is just one of me walking next to some of our smart bombs (JDAM GBU-38s)

A Trip to A-Town

So right off base about 5 miles is a place called A-Town or America Town. This place has no other purpose except to give us American's a place to hang out not too far from base. I went to go get my squadron jersey. I'll have pictures of that next week when I go pick it up. One thing nice is that any patches I want, the guy will make for me for next to nothing. It's a pretty cool deal. Decided to walk around for a bit too while I was there. Found a store there where you can buy a king size blankets for $30 and they are nice. Really nice and soft and comfy. I know because I have one, but mine cost $35 on base. So walked a little more down the streets. The streets are full of bars and restaurants. Anytime you walk by one of the bars some girls in way too short of skirts comes out and tries to get you to come into their establishment. These girls are called Juicies. They are almost like a prostitute, except there is no sex. They are there just to talk to you, but you have to pay them for their company. Needless to say everyone time I walked by one and she would try to get me and the guy I was with to come in, I was like NOPE. They look so upset. I decided to stop at a place called Popeye's for dinner. Not a Popeye's like chicken, but like Korean food. I ordered the beef bulgogi. It was pretty good. Kristi would be in heaven with this food here. They do know what spicy food is. I didn't realize she was asking me how much spice I wanted to mine, so I got mine a little hotter than I would have liked. Oh well it still tastes good.



Alright, well I will post some more another time when I go out again. Just been working and doing homework here lately. Everyone take care.
