well, today i got news and im not sure if its good or bad or how to take it. i have been here at my new base for about 2 months now and since i got here i have been running the Light shop and Body shop, but today i found out that on Monday they are moving a Tech Sargent over to take my NCOIC (Non-commission officer in charge) position pushing me back out on to the shop floor. now what i am being told is the move is being made because as of now there are only two fully trained guys in my shop, my self and on other and there are 7 young mechanics that are still in there upgrade training and with me filling the NCOIC position there was not much time for me to help with there training, so i am being put back on the shop floor to be the main trainer.

i was told that the move has nothing to do with how i was running the shop and was actually complemented on how well i did being a younger Staff Sargent, but it just sucks because it would have looked awesome having NCOIC on future performance reports.

so im not really sure how to take it.....

Wife says im obsessed with them. And i have to agree with her. lol

I have all the production figures for the cars. And go as far as keeping track of some of the rarer ones. So I know if one is lost to a wreck or something.

Im going to go order the custom sealed/UV protected frames for this stuff next week.

I hunt for this stuff for some period of time each day.

That is the rarest of all the hawks. And actually car #26 of the 92 Hawks. Is actually the highest factory horsepower one of all 10 years. And highest horsepower f-body since the f body big block hay day.

It was conservatively rated at 400 HP. But the info available puts it around 430 HP!

And 3 of them got the 366 cid aluminum rodeck block. 26 was one of them but it was swapped out for a 383 cid aluminum rodeck engine.

I wasn't joking when I said I loved these cars. Its my holy grail of dream cars. Kinda an unofficial historian of these cars. lol

Well, damn, sorry to hear that man. I'm with you, the move back down sucks cuz it would look great in the future. Maybe the new guy won't work out and you'll get your spot back.

Well, my brother had his first hit and run experience...got rear ended HARD in his wife's G8 and knocked off the bumper. He chased him down the side of the interstate for about a half mile till his tire started smoking from running on the fender.

2 witnesses also got the plate number, cops found him later with a blown radiator, and drunk.

Now we wait till Monday to find out if the guy has insurance...
