Its rare that we ever get called in the weekend, we mainly have a standby pair for emergencies and such.

Last week, we had a mishap involving a jet and an engine fire. I was the NCO(E5) on standby this weekend, so I get the phone call to come into the shop for some possible maintenance. We have a couple guys on standby usually, this week there were only two, myself and an airman. So I after I get off the phone with the weekend ProSup, I put my uniform on and drive to the shop.

Once there, I verified that I'd need some help with the tasks they wanted me to do. Bare in mind that there was an MSgt(E7) and a Major(O4) there with me as well, who were explaining to me exactly what needed to be done and when they wanted it down by. So I call the airman(E4) to deliver the bad news that he has to come in. Turns out he was at a Halloween party . . . and thoroughly drunk. Now, because of the noise in the shop, the volume was all the way up on the shop phone, and the MSgt overheard the airman say he was drunk. The MSgt told me to give him the phone, where he proceeded to thoroughly ream out the airman over the phone. He got the address of the party out of him, then hung up. He then called our shop chief, another E7, and explained the situation to him. The shop chief left for the party to pick up the drunken E4. And thats where the story goes cold for the time being.

I'd imagine his anus is going to be stretched most painfully in the coming weeks.

Good thing I'm such a badass, I performed the maintenance tasks that needed to be done, which took about 3 hours.

What kind of aircraft do you work on? My cousin is an E4 and maintains C-130Js

F-16s out of Luke AFB

Very neat. The great thing about my cousin's job is that he gets to go to Saint Croix all of the time. Lucky bastard.

Yeah, I defiantly think that qualifies as being out of the area/ unavailable. I pity his supervisor too.

Thank God thats not me . . . although both of my E4s were at the party, as well as several other NCOs from our shop.

The difference is they were allowed to get liquored up if they're not on standby.

That is true, but it won't stop the entire shop from getting briefed on this next week.

No, their whole shop goes there. The C-130J is used as a hurricane hunter. He gets to go to St. Croix and gets paid extra for it.
