Try 30 or 40 touch and go's riding in the bottom of a B-52
right next to the **** can sloshing by your left leg and it

Freezing your ass off in a C-141 when you can see your breath
and it's so loud you can't ****ing hear and the load master is a dick
head and won't let you smoke and they are out of coffee and the honey
