... so this is what he did instead.

QuoteA Marine pilot serving in Afghanistan may not have been able to make it to his brother's wedding this week, but that did not stop him from sending his wishes to the happy couple in a special way.

Capt Matthew Krivohlavy, with Marine Attack Squadron 231, was unable to attend the nuptials of his brother Brandon and his fiancee, Mandy Takacs, in Austin, Texas, over the weekend, so instead he made a video from the cockpit of his Harrier jet using flash cards to express his feelings on the joyous occasion.

Just go with the moment. It will do wonders for your regularity.

I wonder what the company would say before and after it went viral. Never overestimate that mindset.

I'll bet you a 6 pack of LongTrail Ale against any IPA you have fermenting away in your brewhouse/basement that the Marine in question suffers no harm to his career. I'd bet my own homebrew but I'm out of the brewing game until I have a real kitchen and space to make a quality ale so Longtrail will have to do.
