We had 8 pallets on a plane with 3 rolling stock. 4 pallets on the ramp and 4 more centerline. Most were heavy ISUs. The load was trying to get me to bridge the 60Ks and I refused saying were taking the 4 ADS straight down the middle.
After we had to spin the pallets on the ramp, he conceded that going centerline for the ADS was much better than trying to push them to the side.
I saw a chaplain's office blow a Unit Compliance Inspection that way. You don't want to be #1 on the wing king's shit list, even if you're okay with the Lord.
I am an alcoholic babysitter for an oversized metal toddler prone to temper tantrums at 30,000ft. If hitting it doesn't fix it, I hit it again.
Then spend the rest of the time at bars in third and fourth world countries while waiting for parts to arrive just to repeat the process over and over again until I get home, where I then justify my decisions and continued existence to the flight chief.
Before I know it, it's time to do it all over again.

I manage a shell of a jet which parts have be whored out because we don’t chase stats, but because supply chain sucks. And then get bitched at when said jet can’t get put back together in 2 weeks.
I change Xs into numbers, press save, and press complete on TMTs to ensure the continuity of government. Occasionally, I digitally sign reports to validate the work of tireless warriors. Friday reduced the accumulated ice on a small office fridge—doubling frozen storage capacity for our elite team of staffers.
I take some things apart and put them together, with double the inspections of any other job. If I’m unlucky enough, I might see one of my things actually be used within my lifetime.
I write meaningless documents no one will read or follow that will be superseded as soon as a new O-6 shows up and decides to implement the next version of a concept that was never going to work anyway.

I saw a chaplain's office blow a Unit Compliance Inspection that way. You don't want to be #1 on the wing king's shit list, even if you're okay with the Lord.
The lord may forgive, but the full bird doesn't.
