Whats the coolest thing you've done at work?

[mikeyis4dcats.]

I've been lucky to do a few cool things (ride alongs on ANG refueling flights, etc.) but this may have been one of my funnest moments...


What kind of cool stuff have you gotten to do on the job?

A blonde and a red head...2 different events...

For the six years I worked there, I also got to review movies regularly. That was the regularly cool thing I got to do. It was definitely a sweet gig getting paid OT + mileage to go review movies before they came out. Saw a lot of stuff in those 6 years 2-4 weeks before release and mostly in closed-to-the-public theaters.

I travel for work now, and they've sent me to Hawaii twice. That's pretty cool.

I've always wanted to fly in an open cockpit.


They let me fly the boom on a KC-135 on the last refueling hop I took.



Then I laid in the plane beside while he tanked off a Falcon

As an IMAX projectionist, I had Hillary Clinton pee in my booth bathroom in Syracuse.

In Providence, I ran "Shackleton" for the Patriots in 2001's Super Bowl season. The following year they came back to watch a documentary on Bill Russell and didn't know he was there to surprise them, so he sat in the booth with me and watched the video beforehand.

Well I think you have a pretty cool job. Do you ever get high as balls in the morning and go hop on a tractor to make the laps around the field more interesting?

****ing the owner's daughter while he was about 100 feet away on the phone

[Frazod]

Running full speed into and through a burning section of the main deck in order to get to the nearest repair locker during a shipboard fire. I did get a little singed.

[Easy 6]

I literally wrote the book on how to prepare a SEE tractor for transport on a C-130 for both Ft. Wainwright and Ft. Richardson AK

Then we loaded it up and did a map of the earth flight out to the middle of nowhere and deployed it for a mission... its my proudest accomplishment

mikey winning so far imo

[Iowanian]

Filled a large pumpkin with a few pounds of a certain binary target agent, pushed it onto the ice of a private lake and shot it on a coworker's last day.

Jesus God No. Everything I drive around the field is worth more than my life.
