Reserving one today!!!

[Thompsolonian]

Hello all!

I am putting my reservation down on a passion coupe today!!
Can't wait to putz around in a smart, fortunatley I'll have something to take my mind off the wait.
I leave for Air Force basic training on May 12th, so the wait will be eaten by several months of training. I will have computer access after 2 months, so I can do the finalization of my vehicle build while I am in Little rock, or at Shephard AFB, or wherever I may be when they send the Config e-mail.

Can't wait to meet fellow MN Smart owners, maybe I'll get a chance to meet some of ya before I head off.

Congrats on the reservation! And an even bigger CONGRATS on going into the Air Force. I'm not from MN. but it would be an honor to meet you some day. Be safe.

Congratulations on you reservations. If you weren't training I'd have suggested a orphan.

[Thompsolonian]

i know, but it is a good way to get exactly what I would like.

Dear Thompsolonian,

Congrats on the downpayment! Hope your wait won't be as long as the 308 days that I waited for mine but let me be the first to tell you that getting exactly what you want is well worth the wait. Although I'm not from MN, I am form the land of SAFB. Will you be doing your basic in Lackland? Have a very good friend of mine going in June from KS and if all goes well my son will also be going soon. If your in the TX area just drop a line and I'll let you take a look at the Metallic Grey Cabrio... Congrats on your choice of military service and Thanks for serving our great country. Take Care and enjoy being a part of a great group of "Smarties"!

Thanks!!

All Air Force enlisted personnel are required to do basic through Lackland AFB, it is the only entry point for the Air Force. I will be leaving Minnesota on May 12th, and after roughly 8 weeks I will finish Basic. I then have 5-6 months of AIT for my particular job, where I will learn the c-130 inside and out, and learn not only how to fix it, but to be sure she is flight worthy as well. I will then be returned to Minnesota, where I will work at the 934th Airlift wing as a Crew Chief!

Gotta love the reserves, got to pick my job out of a list of openings.

Congrats to you on your smart buy and your smart decision. I am retired from the Air Force. From your description, you are going to be a crew chief on C-130s. For a time, I was a Flight Engineer on C-130s. I LOVED that airplane. I had a blast. Hope you do to.
