Writing assignment #3

My mind is racing, my hands shaking on the controls. I take several deep breaths before glancing at my HUD. This is my first time in a cockpit. I scan the sky for any threats. Suddenly my GIB yells “Bogey! 12 o’clock!”
I instantly send out an IFF. “Confirmed Bandit!” I yell back.
They are right beside us in and instant heading to cut us off. I try to start leading him, only to find him right in front of us again. “That’s it” I murmur to myself arming a SSM. He is in my sights, dodging back and forth. I check my RCS to make sure he is in range and fire.
“To early!” my GIB yells as the bandit releases chaff. My SSM goes haywire and streaks toward the ground. We fly through the cloud of Chaff only to find him BYR already. I yell and perform some percussive maintenance on my HUD.
I know my GIB probably thinks I am 404 by now. But my rage at the bandit has not yet faded. This whole mission was probably CRM.
We pull up to a parking lot and stop. My GIB gets out and checks of f something on his clipboard. “Well this was a good start” he says “but we still need to work on your road rage.” He gets in on the driver side and we drive back to the school. And so goes my first behind the wheel lesson.
