In his own words folks....
"Just wanted to give you some good news here at the top of the hour. Nickell has been powering through the quals and has some important flights coming up soon to test his thorough knowledge of the plane and the emergency procedures. There are 2 tests then you actually go through the motions on the plane on a 'check-ride' its called where an instructor evaluates you on what to do in every situation (with no white T shirt to shield you from your peers' ridicule nontheless) like regular and three main types of emergencies (Ditch/Bailout/Fire of Unknown Origin).

In other breaking headline news... Nickell is now a semi-pro swimmer, no longer competing just for the thrill of competition but also for the dough factor. The 100m breastroker extrordinaire won the event handily after beating out 6 other base-wide swimmers by a long shot. The Navy Diver thought the race was close at the half way mark but Nickell lit up his crossfit-ness and powered through to take the gold and $50. The poolside crowd cheered for their favorite and Nickell said he attributed his big win to his 'crossfit regimen.' More on that Dave after we take a break. But first, he plans on 'investing' it into the air crew guys - good times!
