Situation Report
CREECH AIR FORCE BASE —Local Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Banshee 31, who completed his first deployment just two months ago, is still droning on about it like he's some sort of goddamn hero, sources confirmed today.
"I swear, if this guy tells one more story about the Camp Arifjan Green Beans I'm going to ground him," said his pilot, 1st. Lt. Tyler Gilchrist, adding that UAV will regularly roll into conversations he was not even remotely invited to. "Kuwait is not even a real deployment."
Other members of the unit admit they try to take off every time Banshee 31 approaches, fearing he will start yammering on about how rough it was getting just three refuels a day at the DFAC.
