Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Have you ever felt like just going to bed and staying there? I know that I have ha that feeling. Our bodies need rest and relaxation to stay strong, but sometimes we push too hard for too long a period. For me, a major part of refueling is to get in prayer and to read God’s Word. Try it for yourself sometime, it really works. Have a blessed day today and always.

I learned early on that your body needs to be refueled much more than the aircraft that you're flying. Fortunately SAC had rules to ensure that happened.

The same for me Mikel. Working 72 hours straight, while working the flight deck, is really a danger waiting to happen.
