Attention, passengers

We are now landing at Fort Benning, Georgia. A list of connecting flights follows: flight 310 to Kuwait boarding at gate A in 30 days, flight 311 to Kuwait boarding at gate A the following day, flight 312 to Kuwait...(through flight 315.) We do hope you enjoy your layover and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to spend much of your stay at one of the many drinking establishments in the greater Columbus area. And on behalf of the entire crew, thank you for flying US Army Air.

Seriously though, our pilot got to do something he's probably dreamed of doing since he started flying commercial planes. When he tried to start the engines, the APU failed and the plane lost all power. So after it reset a couple of seconds later he turned on the intercom and said, "Oh my gosh, we're all going to die." Granted we were still on the ground, but still. One of the advantages of flying military charter flights I guess.
