OH one last thing. concerning the owning building and flying of RC Airplanes. Just because you are in the Army and are working on an Army base you don't have to live on the base. You can do as you wish while you are off duty...with in reason of course. You won't be able to bring them to OCS but once you are done with that you are in the clear. While I was in Qatar this last year there were several individuals that brought RC Planes with them and flew them in the compound. This was an airforce base but I think that if any of the services are going to have regulations that prohibit having fun...er...the flying of radio controlled planes it would be the airforce.

how do i express myself? My english isnt my best subject. chemistry and math are. i hunt and peck at the keys! and dont punctuate on here, does that make me stupid or unfit? like i said ammed is a special program and a laboratory chemist isnt going to have the same fitness as an army seal. ocs would be a 6 week course for what i would be doing. id have to lose 30 lbs but would do it.
im waiting on them now

For this to be on-topic, Tim needs to post some pictures of RC warbirds, preferably of some currently in service wearing Army colors.

I'm just saying... :-)

TT - As far as the Physical Fitness test, the standards are the same for a laboratory chemist, a clerk typist or an infantry Soldier depending on your age group. Good Luck and I hope everything works out for you.

Hi Tim,

I'm former Navy and this all sounds strange to me, but who am I to know . I have lived in Frederick, Maryland, Maryland's 2nd largest city, and in the shadow of Ft. Detrick, for 30 years. I can tell you that they have a Directorate of Morale, Welfare & Recreation. They list a Wood Shop but I don't see any reference to a model club. I suggest you contact Public Affairs Officer at [email protected] or at 301-619-2018 (last update 10/3/07) and ask.

Shouuld you be accepted and stationed at Detrick, be advised that the Frederick Model Aircraft club is here with 2 flying fields and would be happy to have you join us. You can find us on the web at www.frederickmodelaircraftclub.org. We also have a good LHS in town.

If you're ever in town, give me a call and we can get together. I'm in the phone book.

Hi,

I'm sorry. I gotta say it. This whole thing has a very fishy smell. Or maybe that smell is more similar to what you smell driving through Chino, Ca.....
