Andy0689 0 #5 August 4, 2009 You have to have been there to know it. I spent three years at Polk and although the location is crap, the work was really good there. I'd never move back but I enjoyed my time there. Wasn't jupming at the time but look here on the "Dropzone" link. There are three in Louisiana.Andy I'll believe it when I see it on YouTube!

gemini 0 #10 August 9, 2009 You've got a strange map! Spaceland South of Houston has 2 Twin Otters and a Carvan on-site and it is about 2 hours closer than San Marcos to Ft Polk. The BOSS group comes to Spaceland. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
