It was alot of fun turning a wrench on the FA-18's in Key West (March 10-23, doin my 2 weeks).  Though, I was actually handing another guy a wrench which he was a turning it.   My shop supervisor had been to Croatia and knew about Russian Women... (small world), ha.

The shop workers told us... Don't get this guy talking about Russian women or he'll never shut-up... ha ha. Then, my buddy chimed in and said a word or two about me going off to Ukraine last year and that did it.

For all you taxpayers out there I did get some training on how to start the F-18, which we did turn.  Really simple to start, thank god for those digital read-outs on watching the EGT, RPM and Oil pres.   Pretty slick airplane...

You'd be surprised if you visited Key West.  There is a large Czech community and a small russian one.  Just go to any resturant (TGI Fridays, Dairy Queen, etc...) and you'll hear those sweet accents.

that the employers who buy the insurance think it is better than the employees who use the insurance do.

I was once employee number 4 of 5 max at a company. During the interview I asked about the medical coverage.  One of tgeh owners told me it was excellent insurance, he had just used it to cover a hospital stay.  Well, when it was my turn to go into the hospital, the insurance company denied my claim based on a preexisting condition clause.  (They could do that at that time.) For the record, I had no lapse in medical coverage between jobs.
