Weird things you have accomplished

127. It was a real rush, for sure. How it happened:

I had finished all my training and check rides to get my USAF wings, but had a few days to kill before our official graduation ceremonies.

I got a phone call one morning from my training squadron commander.
"I want you down here on the flight line in one hour suited up and ready to go."
yessir

I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong.
I'd completed all the requirements.
When I reported to the CO, he gave me a big grin.
"Lieutenant, you've completed the syllabus but in checking you records we show you 1.5 hours shy of the minimum number of flight hours necessary to graduate. Here's your tail number. Go log 1.5 hours."
"Yes sir. Any particular mission?"
"Nope. Knock yourself out. Just log 1.5 hours."

So that's how I got turned loose with a T-38 for and hour and a half on a sunny Oklahoma morning.
