As I was leaving VT’s was told to write my EOT and give it to the XO. Since I was busy flying my ass off, I was a bit disgruntled at having to write my own EOT. Said “Fuck it” and did the 1650 and Citation for a NCM, because why not?
I’ll be damned if I didn’t leave there with a NCM!
I did the same thing at the FITU and wasn't even a high-hour guy because of my ground job. It's the only time I wrote my award, mostly because I wanted to see what would happen. Let them downgrade it, what did I care at that point?
