    "Want to ride in a V-22 Osprey?" Sure, let me update my life insurance....



    Got the hook up from our XO who is buddies with the CO of this squadron. We headed out somewhere and got to watch the SEALs do jump practice.




    It broke down after the fifth jump. Had to hoof it back to VA Beach with the SEALs.

    We follow the earth. The earth follows the stars. The stars know their way and though the body dies. The stars will remain, like the waves of the sea and restless slate.

    It is definitely a flying casket but I tell you what, those were the most comfortable jump seats I've ever put my ass in.

    They like for you to have a comfortable death. I bet 3 of those flying side by side in the desert look kick ass tho.

    Because coming back from Panama (with the 101st airborne division) in the web seats of a C141 just plain sucks @$$, theres really no nice way to say that!
    if you cant fix it with a hammer...then you have an electrical problem

    Ahh... Web Seats. Had that joy in a C130 from BIAP to Kuwait when I was on emergency leave. Sound of the engines put me right to sleep.....LOL

    When we re-deployed back to the states I'm pretty sure we were all on a C17 but at least we had somewhat normal seats. Just weird facing the rear of the plane the whole way back. Take off facing backward will fuck with you!!
