Scarf Drop

A few weeks ago, May 14, our flight had our Scarf Drop.  At this point in the training we choose which way we want to track, advanced nav or EWO(Electronic Warfare Officer).  These are two completely different career fields so it was an important decision.  The EWO's job on the plane is all about countering threats towards the plane, consequently on most airframes they don't do very much.  I chose to go Nav  because I wanted to have a larger role on the crew and enjoy navigation.  

 For the "ceremony" we went person by person in order of rank and they chose either the blue bat and a can of Bud Light for Nav or the red bat and a can of Tecate for EWO.  Next you had to chug the beer and however many seconds it took, was how long you had to spin around the bat.  Next you had to hit a water balloon that was thrown at you, which turned out to be difficult after all the spinning!
