Just how much of a $#!+ your pants flight was it?
Thanks! The Army badge is good. I learned what real military is like. Not sure if thats a good thing.

They had a pretty decent flight. Doors open, I did a couple dives to the ground and between trees, then took them around the Seattle coast line. The flight we did for officer cadets to kick off their field training exercise was more fun. The O-3 that was flying the chinook behind us wanted to chew our asses after the flight, but he got sent home before he could do that.

Request completed.

How much of a bank angle was that?
That was somewhere between a 20 and 25 degree down angle

@Northernrebel27, how was GEORGIA different as a SSGN when compared to its original "boomer" SSBN profile? Besides the different type of missiles onboard, was it any better, worse, or indifferent?

It was cooler IMO. Missions varied, lots of spying, SEAL ops etc. Couple instances of knowing world news as it happened, **** like that. Loved it

Interesting! Variety is the spice of life - even on patrol.

Thanks for sharing!

Since we are all talking about "what we did 20 years ago" as I was told in WOCS... I'm truly honored that my blackhawk flight instructor was Gary Arney. Everyday we walked into the classroom to get pummeled with questions, his silver stars from Vietnam were hanging up on the wall. Dude was shot down 3x in Vietnam, retired as a CW5, came back to train new students as a contractor. He was a true bad *** in my books. LZ Lolo

Net Seven,

Wow, that's kick ***! I bet your class had a very unique perspective on piloting a helo.

That reminds me...what is the most dangerous saying in the Army? A Warrant Officer saying, "Hey, check this out!"

Army helicopter maintenance taught me everything I needed to know about keeping my FD running. Then they paid for my college.
Thanks USA!

Ohhh..just saw this. How awesome! Can you please add the USAF banner to my profile? Served 1985 thru 2007 and loved every minute of it. Worked Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) which means I worked gas/Diesel engines, generators, compressors, hydraulics, HVAC, and electronics. But this RX7 is trying to kick my butt!!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

@Kellyinok,

Thank you for 22 years of service in the USAF!

As my Aviation Support Equipment Technicians (AS) would say, "No air support without ground support!"
