Fresh out of Tech School and First TDY at red flag in 02! We were at Nellis AFB and I went out Drinking with my pilots. It was also a few months after my 21st birthday. Needless to say I did not have much of an alcohol tolerance built up yet! Trying to keep up with the pilots was a bad idea!
It started off with. You’re walking like you have pillows on your feet! Then progressed to Flippers! Then to you walk like a duck! AFLACK!!!!!!! From the duck of the aflac commercials, Spelled different to avoid being sued!
