Making the move to ALASKA

[texas_pilot]

Awesome truck. I will suggest looking for Something with 4wd before October.

The VW truck is front wheel drive and should do pretty good in Wx,

My VW truck at home went through the snow no problem. We used to go out into fields during the winter and cruise around in them.

Pun intended? Good luck with the flying!

Definitely a purposed pun. A haha

You might think about getting a studded set of tires if you're not going four wheel drive.

I got a set already waiting for this winter!. I was told that's a must.

I got the phone call I been waiting for. I am now an A&P apprentice! Well starting Monday. The exact reason I moved up here to pursue a career in aviation and of course the mountains. This is going to be a great and exciting adventure!

Congrats. :>

Hopefully you made it clear to your previous two employers where you were trying to end up.

So do I.

Amazing! Let this be a lesson for all. With commitment, desire, planning, drive, enthusiasm and the ability to actually get off your ass and just go for it-you can make anything happen. A car and a job already! I am impressed. This is really awesome! Good on you, young man! Congrats! Enjoy your adventure and keep us updated. Can't wait to see how you are progressing.

Hope you enjoy it up here. I was born in Kodiak, and have lived here most of my life (besides a few years in California as a kid and then my time in the military). While I do keep coming back, I want the hell out...But I'll be back if I leave. Always happens.

I been enjoying every minute of being up here. I do miss home at times but that's just because it was familiar to me and I knew everybody.
I love the work I do and the opportunity I have to get my A&P.

Finally got a chance to go flying up here. Flew out of Wolf Lake and went out to the Knick River.
