5. I can see where it would be a lot of work
I didn't know those jets (and crew) could be mobilized on top of their regular stress.

As far as "skate", I didn't mean it in derogatory way (I actually had a few skate assignments in my 4). I knew a guy stationed at HMX1 (the president's helicopter), and although they had shitloads of readiness training and always had some first sergeant on their ass, they spent the majority of their time armor-all-ing the bird (ever see bugs or birdshit on Marine One when the pres is doing a photo op? you won't).

What years did you serve? I did was in 90-94 (4 years was enough).
