Ya so absolutely winning in regards to the coolest things done today. Talk about a massive engine.
Super cool you were allowed to take those pics. I rode an amphibious carrier once, was an awesome experience. Just have that full carrier on my to do list before I punch, but the odds aren't looking all that great at this point.

As a senior warrant officer and test pilot, I have the best job in the world. I have bosses and they rely on me to do my job but the great thing is that as long as my work gets done and my management and processes are running smoothly, no one is ever up my ass. I’m not directly in charge of soldiers when they F-up I’m not standing before the boss and handling paperwork bla bla bla. I have a specific technical purpose in the Army as do all warrant officers and if you just do your job typically there ain’t no drama.
Often ill say that it’s hard to believe the Army pays me to fly these things. Shouldn’t it be the other way around. Now, if I can be half as good a racecar driver as I am a test pilot, Ill be seeing all you guys in my rear view mirror. But as it took me about 15 years to get to this point in the air, I’m know that my stick and rudder skills in a helicopter will not directly translate into racecar driving, but I’m hopeful to show a little rookie talent when the time comes.
Ive spent a few weeks aboard different various Naval vessels. Navy culture was a shock to me. But this particular ship "Cape Hudson" is nothing special....its just a merchant marine government owned contract operated cargo ship. So there wasnt anything "secret" about it or else I wouldnt be posting it. Now....if I post it's shipping schedules, contents, and such, that'd be a problem. Anyhow, I got 5 more years before I retire and find myself looking for a real job.Super cool you were allowed to take those pics. I rode an amphibious carrier once, was an awesome experience.

Super jealous of you for getting to fly those. I think my recruiter screwed me way back when or at least left some options out.
Thanks for sharing.
There is a little known program within the Army that allows anyone off the street to apply for Aviation Warrant Officer and attend Army flight school. It is often referred to as “STREET TO SEAT” as well as “HIGH SCHOOL TO FLIGHT SCHOOL”. No college required. If anyone has high school or college age kids who might be interested let me know. The Army is short 731 pilots and recruiting is up.
