Whoops

I don't know what happened, but I just realized I haven't posted at all in Dec. I guess nothing new or exciting has popped up. We still have over a week here but flying is about to finish up, since we brought in all of our own support we have to take it all back with us. This differs from most deployments where there is a constant 130 asset and we just rotate out as crews, so there are some logistic situations to work out.
The Harlem Globetrotters were here last night, they are hilarious and put on a very entertaining show, I just can't say enough about those who come out here and do show after show for very little pay, for small crowds that are far less than motivated to give positive feed back.
Lastly, I have had several people ask about acronyms they have seen, so here you go:
DFAC = Dining FACility
NVG = Night Vision Goggles
WX = Weather
UAV = Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
ATOC = Air Transportation Operation Center (best guess) the people who give us our cargo/pax
Pax = passengers

if there are any others just let me know and I'll get 'em up here
