Ha ha ..keep trying Kev it'll happen.. Ok a couple quick things.. First off I want to bump macs post on the marathon four hour fight he had with vipe, and howl'n wolf.. I've read some of M.O.M.s threads and macs a stone red killer.. Neat that he stopped by and even neater that our brothers turned in a combined approx 90 kills.. Don't remember the exact count, but do remember they were both close to a star each, and only one point difference in both kills and falls.. That's some dedicated shoot'n..
Ok, per advise given I stopped at the WC this morning, I've only been on it twice before and it seemed to be full of teenagers.. Today was a good experience, and Yep if nobody's on ours a good way to reach out to others.. Saying this last with the hope that I don't sound like a geezer (I am) tight a## .. I think we should always remember we represent the Sqd when we're on there.. For what it's worth I reminded myself of the fact before I got into conversations.. Excellence starts with small stuff and the big stuff falls inline.. I'm pretty sure that applies to flying as well.. Case in point, I wanted to be able to land on carriers to win capture games.. Repeated practice, and advice from our top flyers got me there.. I couldn't win a head on fight for anything, it seemed like I had a paper cowling, so lately I've learned to avoid them which is pretty easy, that way I can come up on their six.
ihesitate to offer advise as I have more to learn than knowledge to give, so know it's offered as a newby that hasn't had his first thousand kill yet (close, maybe today) and most reading this have anywhere from ten to mega thousand kills, but I know other new players will benefit from it.. If you keep playing with the "win" mindset all else will follow..
Prayers for Mindy, and both Jim and his wife.. One other piece of advice from your Sqd chaplain.. If you meet someone with the Ebola virus.. don't ask them in and offer the use of your bathroom .. That's a bit of military mind humor.. Fact is if ebola takes hold in other third world countries besides west Africa we could be looking at a REAL bad scenario, So prayers for all dealing with it, and It only takes a min to remember how lucky we are, and to offer a prayer of thanks for our blessings and of hope for others..
