You think you had a bad day
 

oops, my bad.

4 more and he is an Ace....

I thought you had to shoot them on the wing...

whoa.

i figure that simple list of firearm safety rules applies. yikes.

It happens more than you think, at least in the old days. After I left my first squadron, they had an accidental discharge INSIDE an H-60.

CV-59. Studied this one extensively in fire-fighting skool.
I betcha everyone in the service that has anything to do with aeroplanes or heligo-flopters knows about the Forrestal.

And speaking of bad days, I got a call yesterday and the message on the other end said that charges have been filed against my social security number!!!!!

sheesh that's a tough day for sure.

you'd think they'd have some sort of parking lock on the weapons or something!

Well, the good news is that General Dynamics gets to sell another F16!

Gotta look for the bright side!

I saw that story. I'm not sure it wasn't intentional. Seems that there is an investigation into that possibility.

As a former heligoflopter pilot, I had to go through shipboard firefighting school in 1984/85....32nd Street in San Diego.

When the term "this sucks" was coined, it was coined at firefighting school. I hated everything about the experience. Fear of fire, fear of confinement, fear of every f'ing thing about fire on a ship.

"LTjg Morgan, what is behind that hatch?"

'Not me, Chief!

Black snot for a week.

I didn't mind the univ of Reno Dodd Beals school, the tejas A & M deal was a bit over the top.
I was invited back to the Reno school as an instructor for one class. Didn't pay nuthin though.

I fought seven oil refinery fires and was part of the EOC on another two.
More than enough, never again.
we never had a fire on a ship even though we had marine terminals and off-loaded tankers.
At least in an oil refinery you have someplace to run if you're fast enough.
