Chaper 1

1st Lieutenant Corky Splatterass expertly massaged the C130 cargo Plane into a gentle bank over the drop zone, as the 1st officer next to him Complained through his mic. "This is bullshit man, I had tickets to the Poinsettia Bowl!" Corky replied "Yeah well, king and country, quit being a little bitch." A black airplane in a black sky provided little trace of their whereabouts by curious observers. With all of the aircrafts internal lighting dimmed to almost dark, they relied on night vision goggles affixed to their flight helmets. "What's with all of the subterfuge? said the FO as he ran down his checklist, they wouldn't even tell us where we were headed until an hour ago." "Two things I've learned after 30 years of service, replied Corky, don't drink someone else's piss & never ask questions." Corky leveled off, checked the FMS for position and keyed the intercom "Whiskey 1 - Whiskey 1 - you are cleared for departure, lowering cargo door now". "Roger that. Hey no hard feelings about that thing with your mom and your sister ok, save a cold one for me" said little Johnny as he checked his gear. JC
