Magnum-

Bubba, slow down, extend, go skull out of the fight for a minute- whatever it takes- then reread my post. I'm not a C-5 pilot- too big a crowd for my liking! I like using a smaller crew bus- the short ones, reminds me of my rides to school as a kid. Better yet a van, or a 6-pack that we drive on and take w/ us... Oh, wait, can't use that crew-trans reduction initiative anymore...

To the point-

I've got plenty of time in R 5311 (Pope/Bragg land) w/ the herk bubbas 5 minutes in trail to avoid the Moosewash.

My actual quote is below, in it's orignal context. The slam is against callsigns amongst heavy drivers. I don't know you and I don't know Duece130 outside the forums- so keep it in context, por favor.

"The wannabees goto a weapons course along w/ ya'lls best and wear the same target patch and have callsigns amongst themselves.

Some of 'em are great pilots w/ great attitudes and actually do the right thing w/ that patch- but in my notso humbles- some don't. But yes, dorothy- some of them there in AMC do have callsigns. "

Hoping Duece is one of the latter great pilots w/ the right attitude about earning that patch.

Back to my regulary re-scheduled plan w/ how to handle age 65 eventualities (like age 67 to align w/ Social Security, then age 70 as Social Security goes away in about 2011, then aligning w/ other country's more stringent medicals like those we get from Uncle Sugar....) Plan on working now to death, thanks to Mgmt and those w/ the pursestrings in their lobbying hands....
