I’ve been in the hiring process for a job at FRC East at MCAS Cherry Point since May, 9 June I took my required physical and today I got the call to give me my official start date, June 30th I will be back in the workforce and getting paid better than I ever have before. And I’ll be working on helo’s instead of fixed wings, but any job turning a wrench is better than what I’ve done in the recent past, especially when I get to learn a new(to me) type, model, series aircraft.
Congrats! Hope it doesn’t crimp your hobbying
Congrats!!! Hey, now you can get some great reference pics for choppers! Good luck at your new job, sounds like a winner!

Congratulations on your job
Congrats! That’s gotta feel good.
That’s awesome news! Congrats!
Congrats on the great news! You’re a lucky man it sounds like!
Thanks for the kind words fellas, my job title is “Mechanical Parts Repairer” working the CH-53E line
Congratulations! I think you’ll find eastern North Carolina a pretty congenial place.
I have a stepson, Byron Prezell, who’s a civilian machinist at the helicopter repair facility at Cherry Point. After he got out of the Navy he went through the machine technology program at Pitt Community College; he did his apprenticeship at Cherry Point, and has been there ever since. I know it’s a huge base, but it seems possible that you’ll run into him.
My wife and I live in Greenville, a little more than an hour from Havelock.
@ jtilley- Yes sir this area is great, I grew up here and wasn’t ever stationed here. I spent a good share of time in Greenville too, especially when I was with a National Guard unit in Winterville. Once I get settled in the work environment I might have to see if I can find him
Good for you! Congrats on your new job. [t$t]
Hey, USMC, congratulations! Is FRC the new name for NADEP, which was the new name for NARF?
yep, seems every decade or so they decide to re-title the place
HR is about to drive me crazy lol, I’ve been waiting almost a week for some e-mails I need from them, and still havent gotten them
I remember that NARF meant Naval Air Rework Facility, and that NADEP was Naval Aviation Depot, but I can’t figure out what FRC could mean when it comes to working on aircraft. What does it mean?
Oops, forgot to mention - praying for you on the e-mails to arrive soon!
Well !
I guess you are to be congratulated ! Good Luck and hope you get to model a lot too !
