Well kid, you did it. You served your country, fought the good fight, and now it sounds like you’re off to greener pastures. But wow, what a ride, huh, buddy? You’ve kicked ass, Strike Eagle, and now you’ve earned a little R & R.
What’s that? You’re not the F-15E? Oh. What’s an F-22? A Raptor? Who named you, an 8-year-old? BRRRRRRT!
Just jokin’. Don’t take it so personal, kid. You did all right. You flew a lot of high-altitude missions. Like, real high. Not sure I ever saw you outside the training range at Nellis or maybe Northern Edge in Alaska. I know you did some fighting. I probably just couldn’t see you since I was so close to the ground where the action was and you were way up there in the sky.
