Into the Mouth of the Domestic Cat



Congratulations buddy.  Few of us have flown into the mouth of the cat, and survived.  Even fewer have flown into the mouth of the domestic cat, and come out on the other side.

We survived to fight another day though.  And we've proved that the Air Force does the right thing from time to time.  I am proud to see Air Force processes work correctly yet again.  These are war stories we need to get out to the youngsters, so they'll know they can stand up with courage, and that the Air Force may very well ultimately do right by them.  Good on our service for doing the right thing ultimately.

"Hold your breath.  Make a wish.  Count to three... Want to change the Air Force?  ....... [long pause, while the government issued pub flies to the back of the jet]...  There's nothing to it...."

"INTO THE MOUTH OF THE DOMESTIC CAT!"
