So I'll try to make of list of the all the little things that combined into one awesome day:
Tasty omelet w/ everything & biscuit, iced vanilla coffee drink
gotta keep breakfast light on flight days & like to get the hyper energy going early
Briefings, flight prep, and pre-flight were quick & smooth
I guess it doesn't take many repetitions to get to the point where it runs well
Instead of valeting Cols to meetings we were moving actual important stuff. A couple of guys who rode back with us said they had been stuck there with those goods and were gonna get to go home now. Typically we move either people, pallets, or rolling stock: hummers or anything on wheels (which this was) which tend to be the most time consuming. We put some good tunes over the interphone speakers and started rolling like a fluid team, even the FAST team we carry for security pitched in. I don't know why it was so much fun but I was in the best mood, Dad u would've been blown away by the backing skills of this driver (with direction from our loads) and the expert tie down job.
I'm becoming more proficient with my descents and landings which is always exciting
I grabbed a twist ice-cream cone on my way to the Aaron Tippin concert, that dude is awesome, classic red-neck country singer that loves the US and has been doing USO tours since I was born.
Riding the high, we took the bus on a ride around base exploring the far side of the runway. We were back in highschool, cruising and listening to music was a great end to the day, until we found ourselves on a pitch back stretch with no idea where it was going. Everyone got quiet and all at once each person said "umm.... I think we might need to turn around"
