All I can think is wow. It's amazing that you even set out to do this - planning it, taking your vacations to travel across the globe, dealing with the altitude, and actually accomplishing what no one had before. It's so frustrating that a bureaucratic nightmare is what is keeping this from moving forward.

How do you think having a journalist with you changed how the climb went? To what extent did journalist Pete participate - was he simply observing hands-off or did he search the wreckage too?

Thanks for the reply! That's really neat - just googled the Kiowas. Mean machines!

Did you find that when you went to enlist, you were given a slew of options as to what you could do, or did you feel pressured to go to certain MOSs based on what "open spots" the recruiter had available?

If you had to choose any other MOS, what would it be?

Thanks for your service!
