As far as QOL, the fighter community and the airlift community are two different animals. AEF...what the hell is that? I'm "in a bucket", but somehow we have to deploy for 4 months out of every 8. Geez, doesn't quite fit the ol AEF construct somehow.

All I know is being told to wear PT gear 24/7, to wash my hands when I walk in the chow hall and flying a 1963 model C-130 has lost it's appeal and most of my buds are bailing as well. Same as usual tho...the bosses think everyone is happy and everyone wants to be a general.
