Well, it's shaping up to be a bad week. I graduated Primary Flight
Training, and wanted to get assigned to Propeller-driven aircraft,
but they could only take four Naval Flight Officers for props, and I
wasn't one of the four. So now I'm going to be here in Pensacola for
eight more months, training on jets. My choices are limited
to F-14 Tomcats, EA6B Prowlers, E2-C Hawkeyes, or S-3 Vikings.
Unfortuneately, I think all of these are carrier-based aircraft.
(Three years in the Navy and no sea time, and I was kind of hoping to
keep it that way.) To add insult to injury, someone broke into my
wife's car yesterday and made off with about $1800 worth of stereo
gear. Waiting to see how much State Farm deems my stuff to be worth.
There may be a bright side, though. The two estimates I've gotten
for replacing it have been $2200 and $2600. I was planning on
selling it all for about $1000 anyway. I think I'll go to a simple
CD player in the 'B' and a tape deck in her CRX and call it good.
Why do people have to steal things that other people have worked for?
I know this is the work of idiots. They left behind some of the
wiring harnesses, rendering one of the amplifiers and one of the
signal processors useless. They probably didn't even realize what
the stuff was worth, just sold it for crack money. I'd just like to
know why the parking lot security didn't notice someone hauling off a
104-pound speaker box, trailing wires behind them.
Oh well, I feel better, thanks for listening. Rant mode OFF
