Lots of time to decorate while we're deployed... these guys are, in fact, open 24 hours a day!
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.
