Slicks to Pete!

Today we had our drop, and I found out I'm going to Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs where I'll be flying C-130s. I finished exactly in the middle of a class of 09 Air Force students. This is what the drop looked like:

D/O - 328 to Cannon AFB (Surprise! This is the specops version of the Dournier - 328 commuter)
C-130J to Dyess AFB
C-130J to Ramstein AB x2
C-130 to Peterson AFB (me)
C-130 to Yokota AB
C-130 to Little Rock (will probably get MC-12 + deployment first)
C-130J to Keesler AFB
C-130J to Dyess AFB

All of us except the guy who got the D/O - 328 will go to the schoolhouse in Little Rock for about 6 months and then on to our assignments for 3-4 years.

Nothin'

Today I didn't have anything scheduled. I didn't even have to show for the morning brief, because I had to stay late yesterday as the recorder. I came in late, and worked on prepping a map for Monday, watched the US catch up and go to a draw against Slovenia, got some paperwork taken care of, and left around 3pm. Not bad.

There was another assignment night tonight. It was a somewhat disappointing drop - only two assignable fighters, two C-17s, and two UAVs, which is two too many in my opinion. Hopefully at least one of the guys requested it.

Thunderbirds this weekend up in OK City!
