nice thanks

Damn, you have gotten good since I left the nightcrew

:D

I actually havn't been on at nite a whole lot either, but it's nice to know I can still sling a little smack with the big boys ( ;) ).

Well I guess I better be nice now, Don't want Slayer to read this and get to upset to do his duty.

Co-Pilot, CAPT. OEVER reporting.

Nothing could keep me from being the bombardier....it's the best job on the list for me. The cool thing is that my career test said that I'd be at doing this kind of stuff for the military. Too bad that Artillery Officer wasn't on here...that was at the top of the list.


I now stand open for jokes

Left waist gunner here, sir. I support the Capitain's choice for our name. (yep, I'm a brown-noser)

Note to self: Put in Gunny for a promotion after 6th successful mission.

I see way too much debating on this plane for it to last any longer than 3 missions.

Hate on engineer. Now go fix a clock or something.

Dearest Cindy,

Okay, I have been assigned my first crew. Who would have thought that a crop duster from Natchitoches, Lousiana would have been flying the greatest single piece of aerial armament known to mankind. Not only flying it, but commanding its crew as well.

They are a solid group. Lattimer is my co-pilot. He obviously has seen some action, I don't think I will ask him about that scar until I get to know him better.

My bombardier, Slayer Diablo, is nothing but a crawdad-eyed raw recruit. Hell, someone has already had him looking for blinker fluid for the last 2 hours, but I think he will catch on quick.

We have an Indian for a navigator, go bo. So far all I have seen him find is the local officer's club. We have had to drag him out of their a couple of times before he was caught - definitely has an eye for fire water. If we keep him sober he should be one of the best mappers in our squadron.

KCJohnny is my engineer. He has some extensive military background and seems to be more than he is. You know the OSS has several missions going on right now with lot's of undercover soldiers helping out. I don't mind if it is for the good of our country, but he had better realize there is only one rooster on this plane.

Radio Operator, Redcoats58 seems like an amicable guy. Easy to get along with and always has some inside info for us, just the right guy for the radio.

Our Tail Gunner is voyager. I don't see any possible scenario he hasn't thought of. I just hope he isn't running through them and wondering what might have been instead of actually acting on the data he has.

Our other gunners, Ball Turret Gunner munkey, Right Waist Gunner TheFly, and Left Waist Gunner cdcox are all stand up fellas with a lot to prove. But they seem to already have some previous battle seasoning and don't look like they will take guff from anyone. These are the guys I want by me when a barroom brawl breaks out, or a war.

England is beautiful in the summer, but it is more like fall in Lousiana. There is a constant smell of mist in the air, kinda like New Orleans on a foggy morning. The guys are always pushing for leave and I have to bail them out of trouble constantly. I think at least 3 MPs have already saved up enough money from our group to buy a vacation house in Havana. But it ain't nothing but little trouble they get into, a fight here, a mad husband there. They really are a good crew.

Oh, our plane is the Red, White, and Blew By You. I thought you would like that considering that Blue Bayou is the name we chose for our farm and ranch when I get home.

Hell, I might even write a song about it. There are a couple of fellas here who can help me with the music as I already got the lyrics figured out - Joe Melson and Roy somebody. I didn't get Roy's last name, but he sure has a funny voice when he sings.
Sorry about the cursing, it just comes easy now hanging around all these guys all the time. I will work on it.

Well, I gotta hit the hay. We have a full day of briefing tomorrow and I want to be fresh. Go by my house and tell momma I will write her this week. Check on daddy. You know how he thinks he can move mountains by himself. Gene said he would help with any chores that need more than one man until I get back. Love always and your picture will always be right by my side.

Dang. This makes me realize that I haven't written to my sweetheart since flight school. I need to do that.

Since I'm just co-piloting, I think I'll enjoy a few cocktails.

:spock:

I see a reoccuring theme here......

Cocktails-tailgunner cdcox.
