So you and gearpig are married.

For anyone wondering what the HC-130 has been up to in theater. PEDRO/FEVER/Guardian Angel still doing plenty of heavy lifting post-surge.... Moody crew wins Tunner Award

I may be speaking out of turn, but I'm going to chime in anyway because this is the internet and that's what Al Gore invented it for... For every person like you who was selected for a pilot slot, there are plenty of us still busting our asses trying to get one. Best of luck to you though.

Wait for your predecessor to leave behind the tail wheel from his above-max-crosswind landing. BOOM! Deuce tail wheel on your bar at home. So you're into multiple swords, huh? PM sent.

Having worn the MultiCam A2CU downrange, I can say it's vastly superior to both the bag and the ABU (GTFO, right?). Granted the shirt is not sewn to the pants (sorry pointy-nose guys), but the cut, the material, the design and the camo pattern are all more effective for both flight (without a G-suit) and daily ground ops. And, OBTW, there's plenty of space for patches. The single-source solution for all branches should be MultiCam ACUs for shoeclerks and A2CUs for aviators. All that remains is to make a 1-piece pajama for the ejection seat dudes.

In the guard and reserve boards I have sat on, the answer is "no." If you saw the stacks and stacks of amazing applicants, you'd understand why we would not even consider someone who SIEd out of OTS.

Inadvertent or Unintentional? Big difference...

Finished it. Really liked it, came across as very humble and described things well enough to make you feel like you were there...that's what I took away anyway. The idea of chasing Taliban fighters up on goat trails with sheer dropoffs, at high elevation and at night...not so much fun.

Only thing I didn't like about that book were glaring omissions in Lincoln's vampire hunting exploits.
