Good news, got my start date for my new job

am finished with my third day of my first week and finally got to my shop today, I got to assist in the disassembly of a main rotor gear box for a Super Stallion.......HUGE is an understatement

Congrats! That's always good news in today's world!

Oh !

I guess that means you'll be working on the whole bird ? It is a bunch of mechanical parts , after all ! right ? He! He!   Tanker - Builder

Well !

I guess you are to be congratulated ! Good Luck and hope you get to model a lot too !

   Tanker - Builder

Oops, forgot to mention - praying for you on the e-mails to arrive soon!

I remember that NARF meant Naval Air Rework Facility, and that NADEP was Naval Aviation Depot, but I can't figure out what FRC could mean when it comes to working on aircraft. What does it mean?

yep, seems every decade or so they decide to re-title the place

HR is about to drive me crazy lol, I've been waiting almost a week for some e-mails I need from them, and still havent gotten them  

Hey, USMC, congratulations! Is FRC the new name for NADEP, which was the new name for NARF?

Good for you! Congrats on your new job.

@ jtilley-  Yes sir this area is great, I grew up here and wasn't ever stationed here. I spent a good share of time in Greenville too, especially when I was with a National Guard unit in Winterville. Once I get settled in the work environment I might have to see if I can find him

Congratulations! I think you'll find eastern North Carolina a pretty congenial place.

I have a stepson, Byron Prezell, who's a civilian machinist at the helicopter repair facility at Cherry Point. After he got out of the Navy he went through the machine technology program at Pitt Community College; he did his apprenticeship at Cherry Point, and has been there ever since. I know it's a huge base, but it seems possible that you'll run into him.

My wife and I live in Greenville, a little more than an hour from Havelock.

Thanks for the kind words fellas, my job title is "Mechanical Parts Repairer" working the CH-53E line

Congrats on the great news! You're a lucky man it sounds like!

That's awesome news! Congrats!

Congrats!  That's gotta feel good.

Congratulations on your job

Congrats on the job!
