You might be a crewchief if…
- You ever slept under the wing of an airplane
- You’ve ever said “Oh yes sir, it’s supposed to look that that”
- You know what a pointy head is
- You’ve ever sucked LOX to cure a hangover
- You know what AVGas tastes like
- You’ve ever used a grease pencil to fix an overworn tire
- You’ve ever used a piece of safety wire for a toothpick
you sir are on point
Pointy Head? Oh, right, that’s me!
So to speak
I’m not a crew chief, but I have 1,2,4,5, and 7 covered…
You believe the aircraft has a soul. You talk to the aircraft…
The only thing you know about any city is where the good bars are…Especially the TITTY Bars!!!
You can’t figure out why maintenance officers exist
You think everyone who isn’t a Crew Chief is a wimp…
You wondered where they keep finding the idiots that keep making up stupid rules…Because “They” are A$$holes
You consider ‘Moly-B’ fingerprints on food an ‘acquired taste’..
You have ever used a pair of Dykes to trim a fingernail…Still do. End-nippers work good too
You know in your heart that your jet is female…YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You refer to ANY machine as “she.”…Still do
You refer to QA as “the enemy.”…Except when it was the Pilots who flew our planes.Then they were our Best Freinds
You hate Ops, Maintenance Control and cops…well, not all cops
You know the international marshalling sign for “pull your head out of your ass.”…and a variety of other gestures
You fix 30 million dollar jets, but can’t figure out what’s wrong with your $150 lawnmower…No, I can figure that one out…its the F#*%+! $50 Cell-phone that has me
The only reason Crew Chiefs can find the bars, especially the titty bars, is because they follow the loaders to them.
And not a single glance downwards by the old guy.
Kuwait was the same way when the winds were blowing right.
You may have addressed this in the comments of another strip, but what is Kelly’s hoodie about? I’m guessing that’s the Big Dipper and North Star.
It’s the Alaska state flag.
Almost looks like the flag of the European Union! (Maybe they stole it from Alaska?)
Thanks!
Djibouti has swamp ass? That is an epic moment in STS history!
Djibouti sounds as bad as Qatar with the swamp ass. With a huge helping of swamp nuts to go with it.
Oh, another sign you’re a crew chief:
You can clear out an expediter truck with one fart. — done this with a bad case of food poisoning once. **snicker**
I was in Djibouti in ’03 on guard duty with the Marines. Sounds like it hasn’t changed since i was there last. Brutally hot during the day, soul crushing humidity and heat at night.
When you finish a TDY there are enough empty beer cans to buildan airplane to fly home on.
If the way you measure the cost of living in other countries is by the
price of a beer at a bar.
Hell, at the rate I’m going, I’ll be glad if I can go anywhere at all.
As far as I’ve noted, pretty much the entire Middle East suffers from a bad case of swampass. Yech.
The first time I drank a beer – and enjoyed it! – was after I’d gotten PNG’d from Saudi (I’m a rum drinker by inclination, but because we were “respecting the sensitivities of our host country,” I hadn’t had a drink in a month and a half. Or any bacon. Sacrilege!)
The /only/ memory I have from MidEast deployments that I could consider “fond’ was the wonderful taste of roast year-old lamb. Oh, drooooool….
“as soon as anything goes wrong on the trip”… do I detect that is really “when anything goes wrong on the trip” and someone like Chief Dahl has already set teh jaws of the bear trap?
