Right on.
And to avoid sounding like a knuckle dragging, loud mouth, booze hound....it's not all about getting hammered. It really is more about camaraderie. We have all put up with lost shipmates, deployments, USAF security and red lines, GMT, jammed printers, corrupt profiles, in-flight emergencies, donating urinalysis samples, collecting urinalysis samples, roving watches, mishap drills, foreign travel requests, sh!t man I can go on. So why not hold dear the culture that made this job so fun in the first place?
