Leaving tomorrow...

So I guess I had to have one more post.
It's tougher than I thought leaving my flight. Every single one of them are great guys and I see them doing fantastic things for the Air Force. As of the time I'm writing this, (Friday night at 2300 hours) we have one guy who washed out, and another guy who decided it wasn't for him. I wish them both the best of luck. That brings the grand total (so far) to 3 guys saying it's just not for them, and one not making it through, for a 15% "not graduating" rate.
I gotta say, I had a really good time here, met some fantastic people in the class before me, definitely in my class, and in the class after me. I know many of those of you whom I'm talking about read this, and I want want to say thanks for making it a heck of a lot better than it could have been!! In my time as crew on the Herk, I learned that what makes a flight good is not where you go, but the people you're with. I was once broke in Pohang Korea in December for 2 weeks, living on cots in tin-huts with kerosene heaters, but had a great crew and it made it an awesome time. I've also been broke in Hawaii with a crappy crew and it sucked.
Thanks for making this one of the good times!! Best of luck to you all, and to all you future IFS students!
