That would probably get a good laugh from the pilot. even at the time. And he would keep laughing until he got his paycheck and found out it was docked for the time he spent on his 'surfing vacation'.

Better that the military doesn't read about the concept. They may start deducting the time spent in 'sunny, exotic Afghanistan' from the their vacation time.
