Too funny about the airport experience. You should have told her to fly on one of your F-15/16's to get there quicker.
A group of us went to "Killer School" in Fort Lewis Washington so as to be better prepared for drug boardings. It was funny waiting in line for food as the Army guys were all at attention and us Coasties were like a bunch of beatniks slacking off wearing all different kinds of uniforms (some with white paint spills). And we had some chiefs and officers among us.
