Boom, Seriously

“You don’t REALLY blow up rockets, do you?”

Well as of Friday, no longer, no. But for the past eight years, you bet.

BITFU: Blow it the {expletive deleted} up.

And notice the little rocket in the gator’s mouth. Isn’t it cute!

    Flight control gets a damn fine looking patch there.

    That is my new favorite acronym.

    Epic in every sense of the word.

    Love the patch!

  5. Embar says:

    why does it have a crocodile on it?
    and what is the crocodile holding in its mouth?

  6. Gimmlette says:

    Embar, the croc is native to Florida. I remember the tour guide the only time I went to Cape whatever it’s called now, telling us not to stray off the groomed grassy areas.
    And Daniel said that’s a rocket in it’s mouth. It’s a patch so the detail isn’t quite there.
    I would imagine there are natives with stories of feeding the crocs firecrackers.

    What? /confused. This was a patch you got working for NASA? A joke, huh?
    It’s OK, I am usually out of it.

  8. AJ says:

    Not sure if you can/are willing to tell us this, but were you the one that actually manned the switch and/or made the decision to BITFU?

  9. Hannah says:

    Awesome patch. :)

  10. John Oliver says:

    Of course that is an Alligator, not a Croc tho’ both are native to Florida, only one have won multiple national championships.

    Ahh yes! Before I retired and moved to United Space Alliance (across the river) I was an Air Force Maintenance Controller for the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Space Launch Squadrons. Also worked in 45 OSS doing Ops status report and Sitreps. I’m very familiar with ROPS and BITFU! Good luck in your new job!

    “Executioners of Erratic Flight” had me giggling like a madwoman.

    Plus, alligators = awesome. Alligators + rockets = EPIC awesome.
