when you go to lay down put a pillow under your shoulder and arm it keeps it from trying to drop down to the mattress and feels way better I couldn't sleep in the bed until the therapist showed me this. also put a pillow, a small one, between your arm and your side that also really helps just loosen your straps and shove it in there. I'm still sleeping like that

 

good morning everyone have a good day

 

thanks I believe I will follow this advice

 

great color choice btw

 

Good Morning, Have A Great Day!

 

Good morning all.
I feel so inadequate listening to all this airplane and transport stuff.
Way cool people.
But, I'm not a virgin to flying.
Maybe I haven't shared this but I am a pilot.
Was so much fun. Way to expensive to continue.
Type rated in 5 aircraft and I have my float rating.
Grab the float plane and fly to a lake. Sit on the float and fish. What a blast.
Was going for my commercial but insurance in my private life would skyrocket.
Wasn't worth it....
I did get to fly a citation from the left seat. That was unbelievable. Freaky when you put the coals to it and point the nose to the sky and pull the throttles back and it keeps going..coolest part was touchdown and hitting the reversers.
Almost home Martin.

Bury that sob Chris.

 

Mike flying them is one thing ...LOL As I am told as long as you get the front off the ground the rest usually follows landing however ... lol As a mechanic well we just loaned them to the pilots since well umm you make us mad we RED X the plane you are going no where! LOL To be honest I have not been on a plane since ohh 2002 ish and most likely won't ever again. I considered learning to fly but after learning how little it takes to make one become a lawn dart yeah nope! Hat's off to you being able to keep track of all the stuff in the cockpit and not hit a mountain or bldg or something lol :} I would have rather have had an incentive ride in a F16 but really just a take off rotate and firewall the throttles and then put it back down :} As I am told it is equivalent to launching in a top fuel dragster :}


Cypher

 

Good morning, folks. Happy hump day!

 

Found out more info on that this morning. I was talking to my lead man about it he said it was because we had a guy collapse last year from a seizure and if no one would have been with him he'd have died and it scared the crap out of the boss. He's apparently not wanting to take any chances. That doesn't excuse how it was handled so I will be following cyphers advice and documenting everything and consulting with an attorney. Just in case I find out differently

 

Good morning all. If all goes well this will be the last leg of the trip. So we'll just take it easy, not be in any big hurry and just ease it on home.

 

Good morning Everyone

 

Morning all, great flying stories.

I am qualified to be a passenger on commercial airlines, took a lot of training but it is worth it...if I need to fly somewhere. I have flown on both Boeing AND Airbus.



My stories just aren't as exciting

 

Oo-rah, Marine!

 

10 years Army, 10.5 years Air Force as an equipment operator...I can make dirt fly!

 

10 years in the Navy. I have piloted an Aircraft Carrier.

 

Ooh Rah !!!


Short Military career , 3 years until I got hurt at MCAGCC 29 Palms , was a 2111 or small arms weapons repair technician

 

A ground fighter's best friend. Thanks.

 

I worked on and repaired all small arms , machine guns , m203's and 60 & 81mm Mortars . I also got to play around with captured AK's

Even got to be a weapons instructor for my squadron . Nothing like trying to train Motorpool drivers how to fire a M2 Browning .50 cal MG . I can't count how many barrels I lost do to very enthusiastic MG crews

 

Did I show u people this ??? I have crs

 

Who is the young kid?
