A YUGE thank you to all of my subscribers for getting me over 1k!!! As promised, here is the story of how I earned the nickname "Snak Pak" as an Army Helicopter pilot. Enjoy!
25 minutes after uploading this video you have found yourself ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER!! literally got recommended your dcs videos half hour ago and they go hard, very nice my man :D GLHF
Similar story: worked with a guy in supply who was asked to order piss bottles for the command urinalysis coordinator. He screwed up the unit of issue on the order and instead of ordering a total of 600 bottles which would've lasted about two years, he ordered 600 cases, or 60,000 bottles. No one realized it or caught it until a 53-footer pulled up with the order. 14 pallets worth of piss bottles. We ended up having to store them in our storage bunker. We filled an entire two-story pallet rack. And that's how dude ended up with the name "Piss Bunker", or PB. He also had to give training to the supply department on units of issue and how to interpret them.
Love hearing these stories. Came here for your "real pilot" you add to your video descriptions. I enlisted in the Army as a 15B with the hopes of becoming crew chief then WO. Life had another plan. Now I'm going to go home after watching a few of your videos and download DCS. Thank you for the vids. Keep up the good work.
Good story, Mr. Snak Pak. Much honor to the man who attempted the full can. Also, props for using the SM57 and keeping the wind out of it well. Came here for the MSFS helo content. As a non-DCS guy, I'd like to see more of it. Good luck to you!
Lol Awesome Snak Pak. My Air Force Unit had Softball League My Team Coach tells me to Make something happen between Right and Center Field to get the Guy on 2nd base to Third. I drill a Shot Between both guys 10 feet in the air like a line drive all the way to the fence and the Runner comes in to home plate I end up on 3rd base and at the end of the game My Coach keeps calling me Turner Burner Bunsen Burner and My Nickname from that day was Bunsen lol You have no Idea how or when it will happen and not every guy gets one so it is a Unit Honor to have one. From that year on my Team Softball shirt said Bunsen on the back. No one back home understood it when I would wear it. They would ask Why Bunsen. 😊 My Honor has a name and My Unit knows it. Thank You for The Share that was Special.
Enjoying your channel and content. I would love to see you re-create and fly some realistic mission types that you flew on deployment. With added analysis, explanation and commentary
We don’t generally divulge details on our tactics and such but I’ll try to work some stuff like this in within the confines of what would generally be disclosed to the public. (It can get touchy here)
@@SnakPakFlight Right got you! Well I am interested in seeing missions as realistic as possible, even if it just a logistics drop. Certainly doesn't need to have any compromising details or information in there. You could base the missions off similar missions you have done. Anyway good luck with the channel
I'm looking forward to it. I ask because I was Navy in the early 2000s and had no clue what a flying warrant was until I stumbled across the Army Warrant homepage in the early days of the internet. Unfortunately, it didnt work out for me. Would love to see a video from day one of your career and shine a little light on that world for the future generation. Love the videos and keep it up brother!!!
Great story! Wolf Pack, Disney World, Ave Rick, Honky Tonky, Silencer, Johny Bravo, Speedy Gonzalez, Mr. Big, Fatboy Slim. Very cool guys! 😆
Love hearing the shop stories. Pilots are still my favorite people. Miss all the guys, you get to build a cool relationship when you do flight ops 😅

Yeah I don't like adding that. Sounds dumb to me. But it gets clicks. Thanks for serving!
Congrats on passing 1k, you deserve it!
Thank you so much!!

The only man with an insanely clear mic, and slightly foggy camera😂can't get enough.
Just got a new cam!
@@SnakPakFlight all that's left is a new HOTAS, even though it's gonna be hard to see the Logitech go. I had one of those and they work like a dream!

Great story!!! Any chance you'll tell your story of joining the Army and the road to WOCS/WOFT?
Got something like that planned. Will mostly be focused on day to day life after flight school, but will start with the training.
I'm looking forward to it. I ask because I was Navy in the early 2000s and had no clue what a flying warrant was until I stumbled across the Army Warrant homepage in the early days of the internet.
