I love you, I won't kill you

Alaina, who didn't look happy, excited or excited, walked slowly in front of several people, "Hi, hello!"

Victoria smiled at her and said, "Hey, what are you doing in your room?"

"As a rookie who just came to report, he must have his own nest, right?" Alena glanced at Amanda when she spoke.

"Hmm! This is Second Lieutenant McLaren, this is Lieutenant Cooper." Victoria introduced without thinking about Alena's words.

"Hi! Call me Amanda." When Amanda spoke, she stretched out her right hand.

"Nice to meet you! Alena Franks, Ensign." When Alena returned the salute, she almost risked being arrogant and impolite, and couldn't meet Amanda's eyes.

Kenny, who had the gentlemanly smile of an officer, smiled and said, "I'm sorry! The last time we met, I didn't remember your beautiful name and charming smile."

Alaina's mouth twitched, "What? So, do we know each other?"

Victoria laughed, "Alena, this guy likes you. I think you can have a drink."

Amanda urged, "Guys, let's go, I haven't had dinner yet."

The "Subway" military fast food restaurant located near Whitingfield North Airport still maintains the same decoration style, menu and service concept as local restaurants.The 7 special low-fat sandwiches and salads it sells have many supporters among the naval soldiers and officers in Whitingfield.

Healthy and delicious fast food that does not make people obese and the professional characteristics of naval pilots make many pilots hope that the daily staple food should be based on low-fat sandwiches and salads.When Victoria thought of the sandwiches sold in the restaurant, she quickly asked Alena, "Is there a restaurant in the Texas naval base?"

Alena glanced at the restaurant's unified style sign, "Of course."

Kenny said from the side, "Cranston, you don't even know this, do you? The most successful place for this restaurant is to open chain stores near convenience stores, airports, schools and hospitals."

"Hmph, I don't know. Well, since you know this restaurant so well, do you plan to be a delivery pilot for them after you retire?" Victoria sarcastically teased Kenny.

"Well, that's a good idea. In this way, even the residents of Iceland can eat American sandwiches." Amanda is happy to joke with her colleagues after a day of training.

"Hehehe, then what they ate were iced sandwiches, or fresh ones?" Alena continued with a smile.

....................

Life is like this passing by every minute and every second, and the content of flight training is also quietly changing in an instant.When the time came to the American Flag Day on June 6, Amanda's flight training had come to the final stage of night flight subjects.

When she completed this training subject, it was the day she officially joined the elite team of Marine Corps pilots.Receive the long-awaited "Gold Wing" flight badge amid the blessings of other student pilots, instructors or family members.

At the end of dinner on the 14th, Alena glanced at Amanda sitting next to her, "Today is Flag Day, you know that?"

Amanda put down the spoon in her hand, "I know. However, such days are just training days for us."

Victoria, who was sitting opposite, smiled softly, "Amanda, she wanted to ask you, what are you going to do on Father's Day in three days' time?"

"Father's Day? Oh, I see." Amanda just replied with a smile.

"No, you don't understand. Are you going to just hope for our blessing when you graduate?" Alena asked.

"Well, your blessings are very important, and so are your family's blessings, aren't they?"

"That's right. So, from now on, you'd better come back alive."

Victoria said quickly, "Alena, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Amanda shook her head at her, then said to Alena, "I see what you mean. You mean night flying, don't you?"

Alena laughed, "Yeah. The night flight we accept now is very different from the night flight in the first phase. You, me, and Victoria are very clear about this problem."

Although all three experienced the first stage of night flight training on T-6A, the training during that period did not bring more ability and confidence to the students.Compared with helicopter night flight training, it is also quite difficult, the visibility inside and outside the cockpit is weakened, and the flight speed will be slower due to this.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that the helicopter will use night vision goggles as the main equipment for night flight.Night vision devices are increasingly irreplaceable in the combat operations of the US Army and Marine Corps in the Middle East.To ensure the victory of ground forces in night combat, Navy or Marine Corps pilots must learn how to use night vision goggles correctly.

Amanda nodded, "Thanks. Don't worry, I'll come back alive."

Victoria propped up her chin, thoughtfully said, "It would be great if I could be assigned to drive the AH-1W of the Marine Corps when I graduate in the future."

Alena looked at her. "You mean the 'Super Cobra' attack helicopter?"

"What about you? What aircraft would you most like to fly in the air wing?" Amanda asked Alena.

"I don't know, do I still have a chance to choose? There are four types of helicopters in the Marine Corps, the old-fashioned UH-1N 'Huey', the huge and somewhat perverted CH-53 'Sea Stallion', and the helicopter that resembles an aerial helicopter. The bus-like CH-46 'Sea Knight', in the end only the 'Super Cobra' remains." Alena grumbled, almost counting all the helicopter types of the Marine Corps.

"Even as you said, at least we are better than Lieutenant Cooper." Amanda said.

"Hehehe, that's right. No matter how good Kenny's grades are, he can only fly the Navy's SH-60 'Sea Hawk' series helicopters." Victoria said relaxedly.

"Well, even if he encounters any financial crisis after retiring, he can still find a job in the Coast Guard." Amanda leaned back in the chair and said with her arms folded.

Alena asked curiously, "What job? Or flying a helicopter?"

Victoria glanced at her, "Alena, the HH-60J "Hard Eagle" used by the Coast Guard is a derivative of the SH-60."

Amanda said to Alena again, "In fact, the MH-53 heavy helicopter used by the US Air Force is a modified version of the CH-53 of the Marine Corps."

"Oh, it turns out that the Air Force's favorite 'Super Happy Hulk' is the CH-53 of the Marine Corps." Alena said with great interest.

"If the three of us retire, we can find a good job. Amanda, what do you think?" Victoria asked Amanda who was opposite.

"Retirement? Hehe, ladies, it seems too early to talk about this issue, right?"

"Helicopter pilots are on a six-year contract, I know. Right now, it's just a chat. It's an easy way to go and come back."

Alena stood up, took the plate, "Let's go. Victoria, we will have this day sooner or later."

At 8pm, Amanda and Kenny co-sign the helicopter flight paperwork.According to past practice, the two gave Major Pearson a flight briefing before taking off.After the briefing to the instructor is completed, the briefing is done between the two of them.

After completing the briefing, the two walked to the TH-57 they were going to fly, holding the flight helmet and night vision gear.Kenny looked at the starry sky under the night and couldn't help saying, "It's so beautiful! Mike, do you think we have a chance to fly there?"

Amanda took a deep breath. "Space? Well, cool! If you want to go, you can send NASA an email for a job right now."

"Now? Hahaha, we haven't even got the 'Golden Wing' yet, how can we apply?" Kenny laughed.
