Why is everything crashing this week? One day after another...
With the tempo of operations being such, I am suprised that we have not lost more a/c. There is never enough money for spare parts, not enough down time between deployments to refurb damaged a/c, ect... It is no wonder that the maint. crews can do just about any miricle with next to no parts & supplies available. Most of the monies seem to be going the next wave of a/c's & R&D for the next generation. The Marine Corps also has the smallest budget of all of the armed services there fore the have to more with less. I am interested in seein the cause of this mishap!
