Stupidity At It's Finest

This is a clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I love the reporters expressions. I don't know how people that are as stupid as this have made it though life without seriously hurting themselves. It amazes me.

I guess all I can add is Hooah, Daily Show, Hooah.

For Sale . . .

For sale: mint condition convertible. Great for those of you who like to drive with the wind in your face. There is some mild damage to the body however so I am willing to take offers.

Before we left Kunsan last week we were waiting for some crew chiefs to finish fixing a broke aircraft. The bus was parked next to the airfield and the fire department. There were many other vehicles parked out there for the fire department to practice using the jaws of life on. So being bored we decided to take some crazy pictures in them.

This was just another vehicle that was parked on post. I don't know what's in the water there that the air force is drinking that would make them do this.

The picture on the left is a small bunker. We found these all over the base but I liked this one because it was nestled away in the trees. The picture on the right reminded us of the Chronicles of Narnia light post.

100_2083 This C-130 Hercules was in the way on Friday. It wasn't as foggy in the morning so we thought the pilots would be able to shoot some hellfire's but then we were informed that the C-130 was going to land where we were working so it could load up. We were a annoyed by it but then we found out it was being loaded with live 40mm HE(high explosive) rounds and taking them to Iraq or Afghanistan. We figured it was okay then. That's a little more important then shooting some hellfire's for practice.

On Saturday we had to spray the helicopters d100_2095own because they had been flying over salt water which is bad for them. Let's just say the three of us here got a little wet. But it was fun because we got to play with a fire hose. Yeah!

Chik-do Hellfire Shoot

100_1955 So for the last 5 days I was down south at Kunsan Air Force Base living it up during the hellfire shoot. It was a very relaxed few days. We took a Chinook down there and once again it was a good flight and I was even able to get some sleep during the trip. Here are some views of Korea from the air.

100_1953 These are both pictures of the yellow sea. Kunsan air base is right on the beach of the sea. 100_1957

Kunsan is home of the 8th fighter wing which flies the F-16 fighting falcon. We set up right at the end of the runway which meant I got to watch them take off and land all day.

The apaches only shoot hellfire's one day because the rest of the days it was to foggy. I wasn't able to see them fire because they were firing at an island off the cost so I don't have any pictures of that. Here is some of the missiles I loaded up.

I will end here today. I still have some pictures of a C-130 cargo plane that messed up our planes and some other random pictures. Stay tuned.

Back Once More

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back from the field again. Also my internet is going crazy on me which is annoying because that means I also don't have a phone. I am working on trying to get it going working full time again so that I can do a full post.
