Done! Leave to return to Germany in about a month. Gonna be so nice to settle down somewhere again after these last 2 years. I slapped this together but there are some cool shots in here fo sho. Last 2 minutes or so are just for the families and stuff at the actual graduation, no more flying after the second song.

I could totally be doing that with my life right now if I wasn't color blind.

also video was 9/10. could have been a 10 but you left out the song Danger Zone. even though I hear there is a $5 fine for that sort of thing.

So sick! I'm really jealous!  I'm about to graduate school with a degree in engineering and I was considering joining the military after school to become a fighter pilot.  But my vision is horrible in my one eye, I wouldn't be able to come close to passing any sort of vision test.  I barely passed my vision test to get my motorcycle license, I don't think I would have if the lady administering it didn't feel bad for me struggling and cut me some slack.

Congrats dude!

I was at Spangdahlem for two years man. Loved it, and now I am over at Kunsan, Korea. And don't worry man, if you or your crew chief ever fucks up I got your back. Barrier MX will stop ya! Enjoy brother, and hopefully our paths will cross in the AF sometime.

so....about that jet ride....

for real though, how much money does one have to possess to get a ride in one of those things? i'd punch a baby for a 5-10 min ride. i want you to make me pass out.

Ya that was my first try at filming it. It shook the jet so hard the GoPro fell over. Had to tighten it like a mo fo the next attempt.
