Default Boeing Employees

I noticed a lot of Boeing employees here.

Did anyone go to the 787 roll out yesterday? I went with my dad... it was great how they had to rent out all those school buses to transport people.

I remember as a kid going to the 777 roll out in 1994 and I liked that one a lot more... they even gave out cooler stuff! (Maybe I just feel that way since I was a lot younger then).

I went to the rollout. I have to say that I was disappointed on how they got everyone in. The school busses weren't neccessary IMO. The line to get on the bus from the North lots was so long that it was longer than the distance that the busses traveled.

Also, I've heard from other co-workers that it was always a tradition to give good gifts to commemorate the event. This rollout's gifts were pretty sad. The movie real tin contained nothing of any real effort or thought. In the past they use to give one-off minted coins.

True, we waited way too long to get there because of the line and were stuck waaay in the back. Brokaw looked like a little ant.

And yeah I loved the coins, still have mine from the previous event.

^ if you have the 777 coin, hold on to that. It maybe the last specially minted coin from a new Boeing model and therefore very valuable to some collectors. I saw the movie reel tin going for $53 on Ebay, 16 bids when I saw it last. Makes me wonder if I should sell mine.

If your serious about doing BJJ I have been going to a good gym up in beaverton for a couple years now. I LOVE IT.

It used to be known as Straight Blast Gym(there is 1 in portland as well) but it is now impact jiu jitsu. http://www.impactjj.com/

I'm not sure where in WA you are, but there is also Teamquest up in portland and a couple other BJJ/mma gyms in portland that may or may not be close for you =)

I am Rickey, in the Army at Fort Lewis. I think I have the only Stillen Stage 4in the Northwest. I have three years to retire, which I cannot wait and maybe one more tour.

I am thinking about going TT this winter. I cannot find any tuners up North. This time I am going to do it right and save myself the trouble down the road. Look forward to reading the posts
