Oh and I got approved for striking for operational specialist. So there's that. 3 months to study (yay!)

Quotes of the day

Forward lookout: "Bridge, air contact, bearing 0-2-5, 20 miles out."
Bridge: "we don't see it. Could you describe it?"
Forward: It's a cloud
Bridge: why in happy hell are you calling in a cloud as a contact?
Forward: Its an especially ominous looking cloud. It looks like its up to something.

Forward lookout: This....is....the....song that never eeeennds.
Everyone else on the circuit: NOOOO!
