As for challenges, bring one concerning the TSA that at my level I should know and I might take the time to address it.

Concerning my military service, 14 years is close. The answer to the other question is: VSI/SSB. Look it up. As for my education, well lets just say that I didn’t waste my time like most of my fellow military service members, I took classes all the time. I suppose if I wanted to I could have gotten more than the one degree I did (I certainly have the hours), most of the classes I took were not for a degree but because I was interested in the subject.

PT brought the questions about the validity of his legalistic claims upon himself. He was asked to be “very specific”, and failed. He used a shotgun to swat a fly, and missed the swarm at his back. To bad for him. His choice, not mine.

And…. As for the other various vapid concerns, I give them the weight they deserve.
Crow?

Do you mean this post from page 19:
Hmmm, well the name says most of it. I am a TSO at a large CAT I airport in the midwest, I have extensive experience in Aircraft Security (Mil, USAF Security Police, 81170, 13 years), and am here because several mentions of this site were made on the EOS blog site. Thought I'd stop in and see what all the huff was about. Yes, I'm the same TSORon as on the EOS blog. I really like working for the TSA, working with all the different people on the checkpoint is more fun than any human should have while standing. And despite how I may come off here and in the EOS blog, Ihave never had complaint made by a passenger, whereas my list of compliments (formal, written) is taller than I am. Go figure.

Anyway, just wanted to give those who have seen my EOS posts a bit more info. Besides, I enjoy posting to forums and elsewhere, so this should be another interesting experience.
You say nothing of education here; you talk of "experiance" but no formal education. Is there another post we missed? Please share.

Do you have an associates from the CCAF? Is that your degree? The auto degree you get for doing a job in the USAF? Tell us there is more than that...

Remember, you brought it up...

Ciao,
FH
