I was standing next to one of our Mx crew when I heard a mid 40’s women with a high maintenance appearance smartly state to my FO who was doing the walk around: “is this motor (LOL!) going to hold together because it has a lot of holes in it.” The FO, who was female, looked at her and with an absolutely professional demeanor stated, “Well, we haven’t had any problems with it sense we took all that surface to air small arms fire out of FAT from the insurgents but we’ll have our Mx men take a look at it.” The two military men behind her just busted out laughing and both the Mx men and myself almost joined in. Afterwards I confronted her and said I know that they can say some really stupid things but just remember that we are professionals and we need to act that way; but that was pretty clever.
