I was enlisted, and also feel like I was pretty chill, lol. But ya, all the pilots were super chill, especially with their maintainers. ha, except for one asshole pilot that got kicked out for selling a bunch of big aluminum ramps we use to load aircraft onto larger aircraft, to a recycling center... like dude, wtf?? 160th is still a cross section of America, and some of that crazy does make it through. Anyway, teams don't work when team mates can't communicate on an equal footing, and that requires an extreme level of chill. But also, I'd say a lot of the chill comes from confidence. And that confidence comes from training. And that training comes from the hard lessons the unit has had to learn over the decades. Everyone from the pilots to the privates at the motor pool (yes, we have one of those, how else do you think we establish remote refueling points, or ya know, drive around?) are excellently trained, but at the time late 2000's the op temp was nuts, so we got plenty of OTJ learning, which in the end, usually makes you better at your job, thus more confident, thus more chill.

Hey. My father was a Nightstalker from 1986 to 2010 and actually knew one of the crews in Mogadishu. There were NOT 80 US soldiers killed. Only 24 were INCLUDING MALAYSIA AND PAKISTANI TROOPS ALSO. He was in language school during Mogadishu and was on the back up list for it. Only reson he didn't go was because of language school. After that he would be sent back to Panama after assisting in it also as a Nightstalker. He was there until 1999 and also met my mom before being sent back to Savannah, Georgia with 3RD BATTALION . Then was sent into Iraq and Afghanistan. He also assisted in OPERATION DESERT STORM where he flew the famous ODA 525 with "Kenny Collier". But as 2010 rolled around and was stationed in Savannah with 3RD BATTALION. People started being really dumb with the helicopters him and all the Nightstalkers flew. So he went to test pilots and was there until 2013~. And then mostly the repair men and officers were rude to him (keep in mind his contract was finished im pretty sure after his 2nd year at a test pilot for SOAR). So one day during his 3RD year right before his 30th year mark in the army he was shitted on so badly he literally walked into his commanding officers office and told him he's retiring because of how stupid and rude everyone was to him. ALSO SOAR test pilots were being PAID MORE at FORT CAMBELL than at HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD.

Best friend of mine from high school was a Night stalker pilot, flew every helicopter variant in their arsenal in numerous different deployments. Night stalker pilots are typically chosen from Special operations forces, basically the guys that are either getting on the "old" side or operators that were injured and are no longer fit for special operations on the ground. They were already the best of the best and now they continue to be a part of the best of the best. Oh... and they aren't commissioned officers, they're warrant officers. My friend retired 10 years ago as a CW4 after 30 years of service. First 15 as a Ranger and the last 15 as a Night stalker pilot. If you met him in person, you'd never know he was such a bad ass.
