Wonder about all the refueling problems though. I thought it was a fairly straight-forward process.

Usually it is. Accidents happen.

I suppose it’s no mystery why the term “SNAFU” has its origins in the military.

This one was TARFU, edging towards FUBAR.

Great article, thanks for posting! Wow - Fire usually equals GET OUT!

I was a Marine Corps Aviation Officer Candidate just long enough for them to discover my eyeballs weren't any good. So God pointed out this thing called the Musician Enlistment Option and told me that's what I was supposed to do.

Next week, the 15th, will be 19 years since I arrived on Parris Island. That's kinda hard to believe. Whenever we were in the Pit, I always scanned the sky for F-18s out of Beaufort. Whenever I saw one, it seemed to make that time go a little easier for some reason.
