Hey everyone. I found the site on Google a few days ago. After a few days of browsing around I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike and I was born and raised in Hamilton Township. In 2000 I joined the Air Force and got stationed in Hell, I mean Phoenix, AZ. I have been here almost 10 years and I am ready to move back to NJ. I am currently in the Air National Guard and looking at jobs with the guard units at Maguire AFB and Atlantic City Airport.

I have a red t-top 98 Z28, ebony leather interior. It has a LQ9 w/ thunder racing 224 cam, 243 casting heads, LS6 intake, long tubes, ORY, Borla cat back, semi race built 4L60E(everything except for a manual valve body)w/ fuddle 3400 stall, 3.73 gears, strut tower brace, and sub frames.

I'm currently a member of AZFBA and everyone in the club is great. I wanted to try and find a F-Body club in NJ before I got back home to try and find other F-body enthusiasts. If I do get one of the jobs I'm looking at I look forward to coming out to some of the events.

Do you know if your friend is in AZFBA? I may know him.

I have been living without AC since the Engine swap during the spring. One good think about T-top cars. The good thing about out here is no rust, the older cars are plentiful.

Not sure, he might. His aim is RamAirGod, not sure if he uses that online. He used to have a really nice blue WS6 in DE and recently found it for sale in Mexico.

Here are some pics of my car and some others from a cruise AZFBA went on to Mt Lemmon in Tucson, AZ. Mine is the Red LS1 style with the LT1 salad shooter wheels. I have since put on stock chrome LS1 Z28 wheels.

That would be the place. Born and raised there. Graduated from Steinert HS in 99. All of my family is there, the main reason I want to move back. I have a 4 year old son who has seen his grandparents(my parents) 3 times.

Have you been using the Military head hunters to find a job? Thats how I got mine up here as a engineer. Also you can try www.indeed.com . Its nerve wrecking at first but once u get a job it is very relaxing not having to worry about being on active duty anymore. Good luck..

11-14-2010, 04:44 AM

Welcome.

I can't wait to get off active duty. Lol

Is that for civilian jobs? Im looking for an AGR or technician job with the ANG. Preferably AGR so they pay for me to move and I have the retirement at 20.

The job I got they paid to move me. Just had to ask for it when I got hired. You would be surprised on how much benifits companies give to prior service members..

I work at Honeywell for my civilian job now. They paid me 7 paychecks while I was on AD "training" orders for 4 1/2 months. I know some of the benefits that companies out there give. I just want to go back to AD and get the retirement. Well, let me rephrase that, I want to go back to AD and serve my country until I can retire. Then get a decent job while collecting said retirement.
