It’s August, I have to go to Korea for Ultimate FutiLity, and I am really depressed.

While learning to recognize all the things the Air Force holds near and dear:

Finally, that feeling that comes your way about the second week of the exercise:
Wait till they tell you the curfew has not been lifted!
Its also about that time that you realize that the only person really enjoying himself on the Korean Peninsula is this guy:
(The caption says in Japanese: “Fun with North Korea!”)
After that, its smooth sailing home……………..
