How does it work out in practical terms when military guys set out on an ad hoc voluntary mission like this? I would assume everyone more or less is in the same opinion that some sort of command structure is the most efficient way to get things done and people where they need to be.
So they have a tactical operations center set up in the hangar. They have a morning brief everyday, and then start sending out flights for resupply and medical missions. Other folks are sent out to recon or chainsaw missions via ground. They track everything on google earth, you put your contact info on a piece of paper and put it in the "Out" box and then put it back in the "In" box when you come back. If at the end of the day anything is in the "Out" box they come looking for you.
Thanks for not only doing what you are doing, but also for giving us insight into things. I really appreciate it. My son graduated from UNC Asheville so we've spent a lot of time in that areas and have friends who live there and in the surrounding areas. I've heard from all but 1 that they are safe, but the one I didn't hear from never communicates much in the first place. The pictures, videos and what they've shared with me is unimaginable (as you stated earlier).So they have a tactical operations center set up in the hangar.

You then write down the particulars in a logbook from what you saw/accomplished. All highly organized and run like an actual military mission. White boards, computers, satcom the whole nine yards. And piles of Zyn cans
Tobacco and tobacco products are a pretty highly used past time in the US military. It's understandable considering what they pay you!
a specialty from when I worked at the Deli at a local grocery store... and technically not a sandwich:
Dont know where to find cuban bread in Danville but there is a small Cuban deli/restaurant in Reidsville that has fantastic Cubano's.
The Rooster is still around town - which makes sense, since you can't kill the Rooster.
I've seen that place in Reidsville but never tried it so I'll have to give it a try next time. I had a lake house on Hyco Lake for about 10 years and my next door neighbor at the lake is the owner Short Sugar's BBQ , so I'll usually hit up that place if I'm in town.
