to the family

[nz_climber]

Hey to all the family I have got to know over the last couple of years in OC (I won't mention names because you know who you are - and I am bound to miss out someone!)

Well as some of you might know I have had an application in with the New Zealand Airforce.. well after about a year of tests, interviews and waiting I got accepted and today I passed the final medical before recruit course :)

So as off Jan 17 I will be heading to recruit course for 3 months (until April 15) after that I will be a bit more free to visit here and discuss racing again.

After the recruit course I carry training to become an Avoinics Technicain :) I can't wait its going to be a great trip

Happy Xmas and Merry New Year all

Congrats aaron.

A few years back I was staying at a hotel in Atlanta while attending an IBM class. There was a conference in the hotel for P3 Orion crews from around the world. Spent some time in the bar with some guys from New Zealand. Those boys like to party. :cool:

After the recruit course I carry training to become an Avoinics Technicain Well, of all the jobs working on aircraft, an Avionics Tech is probably the best (at least I think so, since I've been doing that for the past 24 years). Good Luck!
