Doggone Apache Pilots Have All The Luck

Well, *some* Apache pilots do, as John noted in yesterday's H&I.

Of course, the *Cobra* pilots (yeah, yeah, okay, I'm the only one -- sue me) of the SugarButtons Brigade Aviation Battalion have a few incentives to keep current, too.

The SBB Armament Section, for one. And I sure couldn't fly very far without the selfless devotion of my fuel handlers. Of course, since the dreaded AH-1F is a flying *crew*-served weapons system, I'd be just plain foolhardy to slip the surly bonds of earth solo and deprive myself of the services of my highly-trained, exceptionally-skilled gunner.

Ah-*heh*...

Heh. Ordering me to *carry on* is like ordering John to expand the Arsenal... -Bill And, a job well done. Keep up the good work soldier.

Can't you see, Fuzzy, that we men are all Dogs?

kinda hard to get a look at the aircraft with all those women of questionable character standing in the way.

Oh yeah, and let's not forget about Rin-tin's Crew Chief: SSG Blue. He's a bit camera shy, but boy, as many odes to his honor can attest, he sure has other skill sets.

The number one weapon against Islamic extremists: scantily dressed women firing weapons. It is like soca and pop rocks. Mix the two and "boom"..heads explode. LOL

Rinty would work okay as a doorgunner, Boq, but ya need opposable thumbs to work the TSU and the MCP to keep the TOW within post-launch constraints. Hey! I said *con*straints, not *re*straints... [patiently awaiting inevitable pert-nose-outta-joint *flounce*]

Sure, she may be highly-skilled and exceptionally endowed, but by the looks of her she must be HIGH MAINTENANCE. ***Does my MOLLE Gear Make Me Look Fat?*** ***Oh My Gawwwd - Like, I went to the Latrine Last Night and - Like - Staring Me Down was - Like - the Biggest Camel Spider... - Eeewwww - Gross!**** ***When will KBR start bringing skinny cherry yogurt, at the PX?**** On & On & On.... High Maintenance I tell ya! Instead Rin-Tin, right here just needs a good belly rub, and a few Milk-Bones once in a while, and he's like butter in your hands.
