The unit I am with (Rochester Chinooks) took 3 aircraft to support relief and search & rescue operations for the hurricane. It wasn’t as bad as they thought, but I still have some pictures of the fun. Your tax money at work, enjoy.

cool pics but one question… where does the ability to take up to 3 tanks, each 800 gallons of fuel, add up to 3500 gallons of fuel? 404 basic addition/multiplication abilities not found ---

Yea, like IrocMick said, we had to stay in a weight room, with equipment tripping us as we went for the nightly piss, or puke (we did some drinking that week). But it was air conditioned, the other ass clowns had to live in an hot ass, humid as fuck gym floor. Not fun. For those wondering how IrocMick knows this, well he is my Boss. Its a small world. 🙂 ---
