So let me first say taht FI.com has changed dramtically since the last time i visited the site. So much so that it actually took me several minutes to figure out how to make a thread...anyway, to everyone i haven't talked to in forever, hello! to everyone else, eh, what you don't know is a good thing, haha!
anyway, i just recently finished up UPT at NAS Corpus Christi. I was then in the middle of a PCS back home when all of my logbooks got stollen when my truck got busted into. Granted a bunch of other ******************** got stollen, and it really sucks but it's all material stuff that can be replaced. while the log book itself was of no great monetary value, it was irreplaceable. So my question to everyone is how do you move on from this, having about 1000's hours of your career stolen and no real good way to get it back, sucks! I wanted to start applying for a few jobs in the civilian sector being a AF reservist. But i have nothing to show except about 200 hours of Military time. What can i expect? If i were to apply and get called, would i get laughed out of an interview if i tell my story and show what records i do have? I just essentially feel like i have to start all over again. I should be able to recover some of the time like i mentioned and most, if not all of the time i instructed at a major university, but all the time i spent instructing on my own (about 300~350hrs), or at the local airport (100~150hrs, who had outstanding record keeping, notice the sarcasm) i feel is lost...
should i expect to be able to press on like nothing happened and seek employment, or should i expect to get a non-flying civilin job?
anyhow, what ever help and/or advice can be offered is appreciated...
everyone take care,
Jake
