A few days ago I flew a re-supply mission to these marines in the middle of know where; makes me thankful for my job and what I do. One bird had about 1600 gallons of fuel on it while the other had 4000 pounds of MRE's and Water. They sarcastically thanked us for the fuel, food, and water that we left it allowed them to extend their stay in the location for another week. Next time we go there I'm going to make sure to bring some Gatorade or something with us. Our aircraft always carry coolers with them iced water bottles and snacks etc. since our missions can take anywhere from 3-7 hours long.
