I find it funny, they don’t show how many sorties we actually do… especially night crew!!! Lmfao zero justice of what we did /do…. Now everyone thinks it’s one jet landing/taking off 😂 Its either balls of steel or brains of mush. Head on a swivel they say’ 🤣 first min up there you think your dead, 5 mins you know your going to end up dead…. After 20 mins you kind of just accept your fate… now talk to someone who has been up there more waking hours then you have been alive. Now that’s, Balls of steel! Or just pure luck!

Yeah, let’s ask the brass what life is like on the Ike. 🤦‍♂️
