Forget measuring against 9/11, there's going to be kids old enough to die in Iraq born after the last time fatass had a movie that wasn't DTV.

Finally managed to have a dinner with my dad since Kobe and he talked a bit about flying around the SF Bay. He got drafted around 67 and talked his way in a WO spot flying helicopters for several tours in Vietnam. When he got to his unit he was one of only 2 or 3 IFR pilots so he got all the IFR missions. After the war he moved the the CA ANG and flew all over CA and the Bay Area and was a flight instructor for the squadron. His favorite was to have his students fly into Chrissy Field (basically at the GG Bridge, where all the fog enters and theres perpetual low cloud cover) and pop the collective so they would pop up into the cloud cover to see what they do. He says the students had to transition to IFR immediately or they would augur and 100% of them would have augured the 1st time. It usually took 3/4 times to learn and figure it out. He is definitely an idiot for multiple stupid things including women and flying under the bay bridge until he encountered a low hanging cable, but is pretty decent at flying with a specialization in helicopters.

I feel like "multiple tours as a chopper pilot in Nam" is one of those things that explains everything about someone's later behavior.

He loves flying so he worked at airfields for lessons/flight time when he was a kid. When he was drafted he thought it would be better to fly than anything else and talked his way into a flight slot and did 3 tours 68-72 I think. He did everything he could to get out of Vietnam and always went to Australia for R&R cause it was easy to hook up with the women there.Milo and POTUS posted:Did... did your dad make the news? Fortunately no but 30-40 years ago there was a lot more freedom to dick around in helicopters. Almost all the bay area bases have closed as well now unfortunately. Hamilton was really nice, we spent a lot of time in the hangers and at the pool as a kid. lightpole fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Oh man, we had a guy at the gym during PT hours measuring the fingernails fo any woman he saw. It was the dumbest thing I’ve seen there. I can see someone shoving a ruler into someone’s hair just to make sure it’s not more than 1/2 an inch.

My dumbass troop convinced his wife to apply to apply to be an air traffic controller. She landed herself a 72 hour mental health hold a couple of months back became being a stay at home mom was too much for her.

Kids are stressful, or at least that's what I hear, but if you can't handle one toddler and land yourself in the funny farm your next thought probably shouldn't be that you'd be really good at deconflicting aircraft full of hundreds of people. Also got an update on another guy. He transferred to another wing to finish out his time because he kept fighting with people here. But he's got serious anger problems so he started fighting with people there too. So they offered to let him come back here to finish out the two years he needed for his retirement. They reached out to him multiple times to come in and reenlist and he wasn't answering. So chief called the sheriff of the county he lives in to do a welfare check on him. He told the sheriff's deputy that the unit was harassing him and threatened to file a complaint. And so a guy with 18 years in and multiple deployments threw away what would have been a decent retirement because he wasn't willing to grit his teeth for a couple years.
