Mission: Almost Possible

In the several weeks he has been "in country," Marc has undergone a series of test flights (so to speak) with an instructor charged with verifying his competence. Marc is an excellent pilot, or so he has told me! ;) Actually, it has been universally agreed upon by virtually every instructor he has flown with. If you ask me, it is a good thing to be good at. Though the weeks have seemed laborious at times, the daytime portion is complete (with a nighttime portion still to come). Marc has been cleared to fly daytime missions, and he could begin doing so as early as tomorrow. He said the only condition is that he cannot be shot at since he has yet to be checked off on maneuvering. Personally, I'm okay with that and would prefer that he be prohibited from enemy fire for the duration of the tour. He is eager to begin working, allowing him to become a more contributing member of the unit.
