The huge power hacksaw is in the fabrication shop we use on Ft Huachuca. Apparently it's headed for DRMO....one of these days....

How we keep our Freshmen busy is by having them be the "runners" for the little things anyone else would need. Some of our freshies are actually helpful and beneficial (one grew up around machinery and the such, so he's been a great deal of help) but the rest we assigned to upperclassmen and mentors so that they could learn the trade... especially since our team is pretty much made up of only Juniors and Freshmen... well, and one Senior. So pretty much, no Seniors on the management team for students. So it's gonna be just those guys, so they gotta learn the roads now while they still can. Otherwise we're going down the drain for next year, especially when most of my class (the Juniors) want to have jobs for next year. ">.>

My team goes as follows this year:
4 seniors (including me)
2 juniors
somewhere around 3 sophomores
and about 15 freshmen...

The majority of knowledge from the team comes from 2 seniors and 1 junior...

so...those freshmen better get their act together and start learning the ropes! lol...
we try and include them in on things, but we are getting down to the wire, and there are just so many of them that it gets too overwhelming with them all standing around asking for things to do...

I went in with 3 other people yesterday at 1, and tsayed till 9:30...
we hauled butt and did about a weeks worth of work in one night
