First ever TDY was, ironically anyones last to the PI. Everything you've ever heard about that place is true and they're probably leaving a lot out...

ALL NIGHT "A" FLIGHT! 86-353 was a Code 1 flying machine during my tour at Kunsan. "noopgnat" was stenciled inside the NLG door. Worked hard, played harder and met a lot of life long friends at the "Kun". Missed out on the last TDY to Clark AB due to in-processing.
