Hey it's keeping me happy and at least I can't feel the irritation so no complaints! I have a cousin that just enlisted 11B in the guard, tried to talk him out of being a bang bang but the recruiters were more convincing I guess. He hasn't left for basic yet, OSUT he's gonna have lot's of fun haha!

Lancers huh? Man that's a pretty bird, one of my favorite military aircraft right behind the SU-35. I can't say I'm not jealous, fanciest thing I've ever piloted was a Cessna 172S with a G1000.

They do look nice, but they're a challenge to maintain...a bunch of 70s/80s proprietary technologies mated with 80s manufacturing and now integrated with new technologies that greatly improve our battlefield capabilities...every subsystem on the jet ties into something else, and when the boxes don't communicate correctly, it can and will drive our specialists nutz trying to troubleshoot. All that being said, I'd like to think that it's kept some of my brethren out of harms way.
