Title: Del Rio?
Post by: texref on December 21, 2010, 01:52:13 PM

Guys,

My cousin's son is in pilot training at Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio. He has an interest in becoming a football official. Which Chapter handles that area? Also, if you know are there many officials in that area and any that are active Air Force?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Merry Christmas  ^good

San Antone!   I was there in DR from 89-99 but we were unaffiliated then.  Since then some of the DR guys have hooked up with San Antonio Chapter.  The DR guys do all their own suybvarsity.  San Antonio goes out and does the varsity.  I know the guy who coordinates the subvarsity if that is what he is looking to do.

UPT is a very demanding course....i'd be careful of taking on anykind of extra-curricular activity.  Those guys hump it from very early to very late with lots of book work.

Thanks for the input Brad. He is a recent AFA grad with a passion for jets and football. I will share your thoughts with him. He has plenty of time to get into officiating.

We had some active duty guys reffing with us in DR but none were in pilot tng.  Those guys were too busy partying in Mexico and checking out the local "talent" ;-)

Well after 4 years at the Academy I wouldn't blame him. As Hank Jr. would say  "He's just carryin' on a Family Tradition".

I'm sure you know this Mike, but all US Military are now prohibited from traveling to/through any border town.  Some of the services and even local MAJCOMs have further restricted travel to ANY place in Mexico, and I can't fault them. You better than anyone know the deadly goings on in Juarez and in your local area.

Best regards,
Brad
