One thing I look forward to every day: Ready-made eggs. Egg white scramble with turkey and cheese. They used to have ham, which, I used to like better, but now the turkey is just right. I don't usually make it to breakfast now, so midnight chow is the place to get eggs. Unforutnately, it doesn't typically pair well with pizza, wings, meatballs, and a plethora of other dinner leftovers they serve.
Turnin' more wrenches... Lots of scheduled maintenance goes into making these things fly and even more when things break. It must be a bummer to put so much work into these things yet never get to fly them. If you're joining the army to be a maintaner, pick the Chinook. Unless you want to be a FOBbit.
It's sad to see this stuff happening all the time here. We hear about peace talks and cease fires and then everything erupts into chaos at the drop of a hat. It's tough to make peace with people who don't want peace, but killing children?? It's tough to wrap your head around. I come here for a cup of coffee and read about kids getting blown up as they try to make a better life for themselves and the generations that will come after them. I wish there was more hope for a better future, but it's tough to be optimistic.
