Medevac Pilot CW3 Eric Johnston: You tend to get in a go mode. You get focussed on the mission. You don't think about anything else that is going on. The only call that really bothered me was when we hauled a little girl from Azadabad. She was a local national. She had been hurt pretty bad. Her pain medication started wearing off as we got to the flight line here to transfer her to another aircraft. I could hear her crying. It bothered me because I have got my girls at home. That's been the one mission that stuck in my head and bothered me.Two things I never discuss at work are religion and politics. What I miss most here is things like being with my family, drive my truck, play with the kids, have a beer with dinner. Just the little things that make home home.
