Remind me... the argument against gas stoves is that they negatively impact cognitive performance, right? 

It's all starting to make sense.  😆

They made a building next to me disappear. It was pretty legit.

Always loved watching the ACs lay waste, very satisfying.

It’s weird being on the LZ when the heavier stuff is going off because you blank out the goggles but you can see… then it gets dark again… then it’s bright again… it’s like being unaided in a T-storm at night, but luckily by that point you’re pretty much completely on instruments anyway so it’s just peripheral noise.

Makes it real damn critical to spot the laser back at the RP though if you’ve got a difficult LZ.

A little squadron souvenir earned while protecting a TF-160 MH-47 one dark night many years ago.   40MM HE impact right on the RPG launcher (and shoulder/neck area of the bad guy).

An AC-130 guy I flew with said they made an entire schoolbus full of bad guys go away on one mission.   

The AC-130 is the Angel of Death.

Most of us are trained to go-around in the event of a bus full of nuns or somesuch religious fanatics.  Different rules in AC world.  I like it.

I've waited a lifetime to use that joke in real time.  I feel like the slow clap guy in "Not Another Teen Movie".   Lol.  

Good job Hoss.  You win the internet today.
