Yeah I re-read what I wrote and realized I'd mistyped. Saw the movie but don't remember it, just barely fit in the range you've mentioned. And yes, sadly I've been to Iraq, I spent six months last year there with the Army, good times (okay I spent two months of that in Kuwait but I'm hardly arguing your point). In a few short weeks I'm heading back to an assignment where I get to play pilot again and I couldn't be happier about it. And no I certainly wouldn't want to spend a year there, no matter what the job.

It's funny, I've been thinking about it since I last wrote, I came in the AF just in time to witness the McPeak uniform debacle. It's funny how no matter what he did he's pretty much associated with the airline pilot uniform. I never made the connection till now but you're right. The uniform he's proposing is idiotic, no doubt about it. And if it comes to being it will define his tenure more than anything else he may do, good or bad.
