Maybe it's just because I'm weird but I think the bus one is kind of cool.
Yeah, it depends on your perspective. To me, it was just another bus run that is far removed from my primary duties. To the Air Guard, it's ZOMG above-and-beyond stuff.
It's been a few years, so the finer details have been lost for me, but the gist of the story is that about 150 Army dudes were deploying and had a stop-over at my base. It was a contract flight and the aircraft was just supposed to stop for fuel and servicing. We farm out our poop truck service to Signature, so they send their equipment over only to find out the lavatory service controls on the plane are busted.
As the hours tick on, leadership realizes the aircraft isn't going to be fixed until the next morning. Our base doesn't have barracks, so now they are scrambling to find these 150 dudes accommodations for the night. We rallied together as many busses and drivers as we could and convoyed them to Hartford. I got home at 2300, only for a 0330 wake-up to go pick them up. Plane fixed, mission over, forgot all about it until a year later when I got the AFAM.
