Murdering military officers or police officers? Because both if them probably need a good murdering.

Eh, I had very few problems with 53 and 46 pilots, the Cobra guys I knew were professional, Harrier guys are 50/50, either cool guys who just want to fly planes and leave you alone or assholes who think they're Mega super death Marine 9000. Marine Hornet guys were just frat boys with flat tops, Navy Hornet pilots were just little league dads and fantasy football players. All the F-15 guys I dealt with were California ANG so just Commercial pilots who wanted to spend some time flying something that wasn't an airborne Bus and the Strike Eagle guys were legit cool. C-130 guys were almost always quiet guys who just wanted to get hired by an airline soon.

But F-16 pilots were always loving assholes. And their chick pilots were always on the prowl to get offended at every little thing anyone else said or did and try to one up everyone they entered even the smallest conversation with. It just seemed like such a toxic community from the glimpses I would see from time to time

The light grey F-15 guys you dealt with were all ANG, so they were automatically chill by virtue of being Guard.

F-15C dudes on AD? Take your F-16 poo poo and crank it up to 10. F-22s? Crank it up to 100.

This osprey comes in to deliver this package and since the lz is outside our little base we send a squad out as security. They land, shove this box out then take off. When the dust clears that loving box is gone, and there is this old afghan man just pointing in a direction. Fucker got launched by the rotor wash. What was in it? Snacks for EOD, a huge box full of protein milk, doritos and whatever else they wanted it and it was now littered all over the canal this bitch got launched into.

Yeah rotor wash is no joke. I've been knocked flat on my face from a CASEVAC aircraft coming in too low. I thought one of my buddies was throwing me down or something but it was just the wind from the rotors.

WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN
So I'm at the bus stop today, ear buds in, full volume, no eye contact, the usual.. and this guy with a camo bandana and surplus jacket (aka a bum :zombie:) walks up and is talking to me. I can't hear him, but he's definitely inside my personal space. I pull out an earbud and he's still talking.. "blahblahblah I WAS A MARINE! blahblahblah bus stop benches blah blah blah"

I'm not wearing anything that says USMC on it. I shaved this morning, but other than that I look like a regular disheveled college student.

The guy is holding a drawing out for me to look at. "Check this out man, it's Drew Cary with a mossberg! This kid over there drew it in like 5 minutes, isn't that wild?! I know a guy who does tattooos HUR HUR HUR blahblahblah"

I say, "Drew is looking pretty fit there, must be from his Marine days"

:zombie:"Drew Carey was a Marine? I didn't know that."

:siren::siren::siren: :crossarms: :siren::siren::siren:

"So in the Marines- what unit were you with?"

:zombie:"What MOS?"

"No, what unit, where were you stationed?"

:zombie:"Oh, Iraq, Afghanistan.."

"But what unit were you with?"

:zombie:"Fleet Maintenance"

"Fleet Maintenance? With the wing? What wing?"

:zombie:"82nd"

"82nd is army"

:zombie:"Artillery-whatwaitWho are you, man?"

"I'M A MARINE"

:zombie:"Well semper fi!"

That's right. I stopped an in-progress robbery of all-y'all's valor. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Whenever Southern California was burning down on a daily basis (wanna say 03ish) one of our pilots kept saying if the fires spread to near the base that he'd want to see if the prop wash from a CH-53 could be used to push the flames away.

In retrospect, itt was nice that they let a Make-A-Wish kid get through OCS and flight school

Figure an Osprey can take off at something like 50k lbs weight and has about 240 square feet of rotor swept area = at least 210 lbs / square foot of downforce. Obviously that doesn't translate straight to that force applied to the ground, but you still don't want to be standing under it. A UH-60 is about 140lbs/ft2 by the same math.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
yeah v-22 downwash is ridiculous.

http://youtu.be/eE7x4SZPGHI?t=1m53s

i guess using two linemen is standard practice so one doesn't get blown the gently caress around?

we did a class a case study on it in class one day, no poo poo one of them was a v-22 landed in tall grass, set it on fire, and then burned from the brush fire underneath it.

I used to do do externals with those all the time. It's actually pretty funny kneeling down behind someone as the osprey lifts up a load and watching the downwash roll them all the way out of the LZ.

They always look horrifyingly unstable in hover mode. Every time I see one take off or land, I always end up thinking, "bullshit, no way is he going to make it."

The best is when they decide to land one on the fastidiously maintained parade field and blowtorch giant holes in the Commander's nice green grass.
