Finally!!!

i would like to begin by saying that i hope that this is the first of many posts that will be coming. and second that with, i am sorry that the past posts have been few and far between.
we just recently got the internet hooked up in my room so things should be getting better.
me, being the nice guy that i am (and the only computer nerd in the group) have been setting up everyone's internet. so since the internet has been up i have had about 30 minutes of time to get anything done on it. i actually had to stay away from my room tonight just so that i wouldn't have to fix anything or make sure that someone didn't screw up their connection already. i don't mind helping, but i need to get some time off too. if you count the time that i spend setting up the internet after work it is about a 16 or 17 hour day for me. so i can use a day away from all of this. luckily i am going to nights for the next two weeks so i am going to be off from most peoples' schedule and i can work on their problems on my time. ok, rant over.
other than the internet things have been going well here. i haven't been flying, but i have been learning a lot about what goes on in one of the major maintenance events that the helicopter goes through. i have been working with the civilian contractors on one of the birds that is going through what we call phase. it is a two part inspection occurring about every 350 hours. alternating different inspections on the 2 different types. basically we did one of the two thorough checks on all of the aircraft systems. it takes about 12 days to complete at the fastest. but we had some major things need to be changed so it has taken a little bit longer. i learned a lot of different things about the aircraft and a lot of different things that should be checked on our daily maintenance too.
sorry that this one is a little short, but they will be coming more often now so i am going to go to bed right now. i will talk to you all soon.
i hope that everyone back home is doing well
