I actually had a blast over there, save for a few bad moments. But I had a really fulfilling job. I taught the afghan army how to drive and vehicular tactics.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

He teaches the brand new guys how to fly the T6, which is the first plane all air force pilots learn how to fly. But once he's done with this tour, he's hoping he'll be assigned the F15. He get's to make a dream sheet with his top choices of the plane he wants to fly, and they try to accommodate.

What does he fly if i may ask? That's awesome! Instructing can be very rewarding. I've always wanted to learn to fly but never had the chance. F15's are the bees knees. Hope he gets his wish!

Quote: I taught the afghan army how to drive and vehicular tactics. Did you teach them what the "Forward" gear was for or just "Reverse?"
