free tacos, yay!

We're always excited to be in Osan on Thursdays, which happens to be free taco night at the Officer's Club. Of course, we aren't officers, being non-military, but in a civilian sort of way, we kind of are.

Allow me to explain. As we are contracted by the military, we have Dept. of Defense ID cards that identify our rank as equivalent to level three officers. So it's sort of like we're Captains without having had the messy experiences of boot camp and any other training/etc. the real ones have to endure. Fun, huh? If only we were credible enough that we could go around forcing the enlisted men to do push-ups.

But as far as the tacos go, it's a shaky claim. The Korean ladies that run the bar attempted to foil us by hiding the plates (as we are not officially "members" of the club), but they underestimated the grit and temerity of us flight attendants. We conceived the brilliant plan of waiting until they were too busy to guard the plates, then lunged over the bar and snatched a stack, then proceeded to gorge ourselves on delicious tacos.

Yeah, I know it's sad. But when you're forced to eat out constantly, it gets a bit expensive, and one tends to go to previously unforeseeable lengths to secure a free dinner.
