That reminds me of the speech we got early in the week from the T-38 commander. He let our class know that there was basically a 99% chance that we(or the active duty folks) will have UAV's "dropped" on our class. This basically means that a few of the guys in my class will go through a year of intense pilot training to end up flying remote control planes from a cellar. Pretty sucky. And too make matters worse there's no guarantee that they would EVER get to fly a real airframe after that - meaning they could be stuck flying rc planes their entire career. Luckily I'm not affected by this since I'm guaranteed C-5's being guard but it's a shame still.
Megan decided she wanted to stay another week so she's going to stay a bit longer which is really nice. Therefore we're staying in Del Rio for the weekend and just lounging. Tonight Aaraon is having a big fish fry at his place. He brought some massive amount of halibut and salmon from Alaska with him and invited a bunch of people over to enjoy some of that along with the beer he brewed up. Ah I also found out my dates for Thanksgiving and Xmas which was disappointing. If I want to come home for Thanksgiving I'd have to leave on Thursday morning which only gives me 2 full days at home so I'm going to think about it. For Xmas I'll be leaving on the 24th and I think I need to be back on the 4th - which isn't too bad. But anyway, this will be a big week as we hit the flightline on Friday and from that point on it's 12 hour days and we can't even leave for lunch or anything - crazy stuff. Catch everyone later
