That ' s the good thing about cars . One man ' s mona Lisa is another man ' s potato man . <| sep |> he ' s in the hands of the Department of Don ' t Be a Dick now . <| sep |> As prior Navy , my guess is Col Chuck was retiring , or making his last hop and his crew put this together to wait for him when he got on the ground as a going awayretiringadvancment gift . Air guys go above and beyond to fuck with each other . One time on deployment a pilot walks into my shop late at night . Me and my buddy were watching TV up there just hanging out . We were the pipe shop and he came to see if he could get a favor out of us . There was this plaque that some of the squadrons would go to great lengths to try and steal from each other . Who ever had it would also goto great lengths to notlet the other squadrons get . Well this one VFA had it , they had paidbribed our other shop , the weld shop , to weld it to their bulkhead . So this guy comes to us to go in there with our portable OA torch and cut it off the wall for them . I ended up having to go on watch , but my buddy goes up there around 0400 a hacks it off the bulkhead . I forget what they did for him , maybe got him a ride in a helo , but the plaque actually it might have been a saber or some shit went stright into a F 15 and on the ground in Bahrain and was held onto by one of their guys who was staying there for the deployment .
