"Drunk Marine releases fire suppression system in Kadena hangar"

"Slow Clap".....I just gotta say, outfrigginstanding!!!!

As an aviation goober, I can say that this is going to be very costly to the AF to take care of. The number one destroyer of aircraft is corrosion. We are looking at countless hours of maintenance, insections, removal/cleaning/replacement of critical flight parts. The Squadron suffers the loss of the aircraft during all this time which decrease the operational readiness of the squadrons operational readiness (OR) rating, which is tracked all the way up to the DoD, and affects the squadron commander personally/professionally. In aviation, there are no points given for losing an acft to shenanigans. The acft is down, and down is down.....period. If the squadron falls below 70% OR rating for the month, which is easy if you have one acft down the entire reporting period (15th of the month---15th of the next month) The squadron and commander is tagged as Not Mission Capable (NMC). In layman's terms......the boss gets f###ed. The damage to the hanger will be included as well. The cost of all the repairs will come out of the operational budget of the unit. I promise you the AF isn't going to cancel flights to save the costs when they can bill the USMC. If that engine is a loss (extremely possible) as well as some of those 'black boxes'.....which fall in the $250-500,000 all day long category, you can see where the humor fades quickly. The Marines, who are infamous with getting a miniscule portion of the defense budget, are looking at losing millions from their operational budget because of a drunken Marine.

Annnddddd were back on restriction (will be soon)
