7 Men and a Mascot ...

Okay, so its been a few days since I've updated this thing. I apologize for that. This week started off in pretty much the usual way, picture Office Space, except with flight suits, all the way down to the Lumbergh character ... And if you don't know what I am talking about, WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU SEEN OFFICE SPACE YET!?!?!?!? Okay, go watch it now, I'll wait ...
They did decide to let Crew 4 (plus a couple of augmentees) fly. Let me paint you a little picture: sardine can, 7 dudes (and Crew 4 Mascot), no real toilet, many many hours over the Pacific Ocean. At this point you might be thinking to yourself that this has all the elements of a disaster waiting to happen, but you would be wrong. We're crew dogs masquerading as professionals! Seriously though, we had a good flight and had a pretty good time too. And while I can't talk about the specifics, we accomplished the main objective of demonstrating a bomber presence in the Pacific. This was the first flight for Crew 4 Mascot who helped out with the navigation downstairs for awhile but then took the helm of the jet for a large portion of the flight ... Other pictures from the flight and the weekend have been added to the loop up top.
At some point the next day we landed and you would think that it would be time to rest and recooperate. Again, you would be wrong. Certain members of crew 4 found this the perfect opportunity to push the limits of their endurance and go out for wings and a couple of beers (or 26). Not to worry, it was on base, and everything within walking distance of the house. And then the weekend began ...
I have no new stories from the weekend, so I'll sum it up in a few words ... Friday, O'Club, Crud, downtown (someone decided we'd celebrate my birthday this weekend, bastards ...), Fish Bowl ... pool, assorted downtown establishments, Ramen Corporate Headquarters, home, sleep, Saturday, sleep, sleep, sleep, gym, Supertroopers, sleep, Sunday, 2 eggs over easy, flag football, and we'll see.
