Things That Make You Feel Warm & Fuzzy on a Military Flight

On this trip, we've done a lot of traveling in military aircraft. And when you travel by military transport, you experience some things that make you feel a little bit, um, different. The following are taken from our travels so far.

Things that make you feel warm & fuzzy on a military flight...

10. Everyone else on the plane has mysteriously removed all badges, insignia, and any possible identifying marks from their uniforms, clothing, and bodies.

9. The guy next to you says, "Wait, they didn't issue you any body armor?"

8. As you board, the aircrew greet you with, "This is going to suck."

7. It's a 7-hour flight, and what passes for a bathroom is permanently marked "Do Not Use".

6. No one on your flight seems to know precisely WHERE the airplane is going, or when it will get there.

5. Your flight entails "routine evasive manuevers" that involve the plane flying sideways.

4. You keep checking out the window to make sure those manuevers really ARE routine.

3. The wall next to you says, "In case of Emergency, cut here".

2. The pilot reaches to grab a bag of chips, and the plane leans sharply to the right.

1. The ride across the tarmac takes you past the burned remains of the last flight.

Cut the wall?

That would have to be a heavy-duty knife. C= I'm glad to know you didn't have to use any of those precautions!
