Quote of the Day
I'd hate to see an epitaph on a fighter pilot's tombstone that says, I told you I needed training.... How do you train for the most dangerous game in the world by being as safe as possible? When you don't let a guy train because it's dangerous, you're saying, Go fight those lions with your bare hands in that arena, because we can't teach you to learn how to use a spear. If we do, you might cut your finger while you're learning. And that's just about the same as murder.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Hawaii 5-0"
Not a pilot but work on hovercraft called LCACs with the Navy. Basically we went on an exercise in Hawaii called RimPac or Rim of the Pacific for those unfamiliar. One night I went out on the town, as the Navy does all too well, with a friend from my command, long story short I black out and somehow found my way to the beach and decided to take a nap in the sand. A few hours later I came to as I was being handcuffed and put into the back of a cop car. They took me to the military hotel in the area and i wasn't in the handcuffs for too long but had to call people from my unit to come pick me up. Henceforth known among my crew as "Hawaii 5-0". Pretty tame and not the worst callsign one can be called so I lucked out in the end.
