Grounded Eagles

Planes were meant to fly, Pilots were meant to fly them, and fighter pilots were meant to fight with them. Yet right now and for most of the many days since 3 Nov no F-15s have flown. You may have heard on the news about the F-15s being grounded because of a structural failure. Well it's true there is a possible problem and they're inspecting all the jets and taking their sweet time about it. Not that I can really complain since it will be my little pink body in trouble if another jet falls apart; but I can still be frustrated.
So what does a squadron of 25 highly motivated , highly trained, hard charging fighter pilots do when they can't do their job? Oh, we train in the sims everyday, we study the books, we talk through different scenarios. But we're starting to get frustrated. So the other day the whole squadron took out our angst in a legendary game of dodgeball. We've also started messing with the raptor squadrons next door. Right now we have a pretty good war going on. We stole some stuff and held it for ransom, they stole our mascot instead of paying the ransom; so we took half the wheels off every one of their chairs so they have to sit crooked; they stole all our computer mouses. The next shoe will drop tonight...
