Tailhook 2010

[Schnugg]

I'll be in the orange bag...can't miss something that ugly.

 

[MIDNJAC]

I'm guessing attendance is going to be taking a hit with the canx of several of the airlifts...

Currently working out a contingency plan. Socal Hornet crowd should be there as the beer gods intended

I'll be the guy in the green bag. Hard to miss.

Yeah, that pretty much describes you to a T with a few beers in you . . .

7+ hours in a Herc is my plan for getting there tomorrow.

They serve booze on those Herc flights?

Not making it this year... my RAG class was the low man on the totem pole for the Herc ride. Enjoy the trip MasterBates!

Anyone showing up for Roy's Roast at the O'club tonight?

 

[MasterBates]

Not me.. Airlift don't leave until 09ish tomorrow.

I was, but went Med Down over weekend with DVT Blood Clot in right calf (victim of too many out/ins to DC as of late). You probably know consequences better than I, but Doc says no prolonged sitting in cars or aeroplanes until thinning agent does it thing. Oh joy...getting pretty good at injecting myself after 5 days of doing it (trying to find upside...of course, there's the pain meds that take away all the Charlie Horse pangs I was having).

Do you really take a trash bag for a shitter in that thing? I saw that someone was responsible for bringing a shit bag. That sounds like a real fun 7 hours.

 

[MasterBates]

I'll be there. Large (6'4" 260lb) guy with a shaved head. No 'stache this time. I'm hard to miss.

You might be thinking P-3s... Herc's have flushing toilets.

 

[MasterBates]

This one did not have anything resembling a shutter that flushed.

Interesting, the C-130s I've flown on did and I took full advantage. I'll have to ask some of the C-130 pilots I know if that was the norm or not. It'd be disappointing to find out it wasn't... like finding out Santa Clause isn't real or something.

We were on some ancient Pax river bird with USMC on the side, flown by Navy guys, with contractor aircrewmen. I think it predates indoor plumbing.
