Q1 on my gun check ride tonight/this morning. Finally had a fire condition that allowed for tracers. Tac check and HAAR check tomorrow.

Night gun run had a bird strike last night. All are safe.

That's one dead duck.

During my first rotation out to Afghanistan, the 58 pilots would drop us packages of Timmy Horton's. They'd tie little parachutes to the boxes and drop 'em out the bird.

When we got resupped sometimes the 46 crew chiefs would toss us a big can of D-rat bacon.

The last coin in the 16 month journey. I’m now a fully qualified Jolly Green. Q1!

I guess I will end this thread. Thank you all for the words of encouragement and support.

I can’t thank my wife enough for standing by me during all this. One of my pilots called it “the strangest midlife crisis” she had ever heard of.

I can now say, with pride, these things I do that others may live.

On our way to Vegas!

Not exactly what I had in mind, but it'll do for now.

I will get some good (unclassed) shit for you brother.
Should I start another thread or keep this one alive?

 

[Gunz]

Unclassed goes without saying. As far as the thread, that's up to you and the mods.

Edited for bourbon influence...

 

[Downtown “Funky Stuff” Malone🍆]

I’ve had some bourbon too...

I love how proud you are, and you should be.

This feels surreal. Kids much smarter, stronger and faster than myself got eliminated from the course.

Here I stand... couldn’t have been my personality so it had to have been my smoldering good looks.
