EVERYONE on the crew is essential for survival of all. I was a UH-1H driver years back and it took all of us to get out safely. Looking forward to hear from you as you are able.

When I get back, I'll have 6 months to get out. I'd like to stay in TX to go to school under the Hazelwood act, but I'll go anywhere that looks good with a nice offer for an aircraft mechanic. I'll have my A&P shortly after I return. Wink

Come on up to Kentucky.....Them fellers with the big brown trucks is always looking for good tech at the Louisville hub!

Greetings from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan! I imagine I'm closer now to Wambr than anyone else. Too bad I can't get out of the AFB, lol. The weather is beautiful, but it sucks watching all the air force guys drinking their 3 beers a day. I'll be in Afghaniland before I know it.

Thanks for all of the replies everybody; it means a lot. I try to tell people that if you really want to thank a soldier, just make an informed vote and make sure your kids are disciplined and educated. That means a hell of a lot more than a salute and a 10% discount at Lowes. Lancer, I've watched some hueys, and I wish I could fly in one. What you said about crew coordination is too true. We even have classes on it. I just hope we actually have a chance to do some flying out here.

I'll update this thread when I can. Later, dudes! Cool

Thought I'd check in, as it's been a hot minute. I can't honestly say we are doing ANYTHING important up here in Northern Afghanistan AT ALL. We are seriously sitting on our asses and flying Germans around the mountains so they can take pictures of them. I wish I was in the South where they actually need our kind of support.

Enough with the depressing truth about this stupid deployment. Pictures!! Cheesy

That's a row of 12. I don't think you can see them all...

Thankfully, it doesn't look like that all the time. When I can get off the ground, here is my office view:

Preparing for Christmas. It's got 7.62, smoke grenades, flares, pen flares, parts tags, chemlights, pipe cleaners, fruit, safety wire, and a condom star tree topper! Cheesy

In our office (this isn't even the beginning...) You know what they say: War is Hell.

There's supposed to be a bearing and a seal in there. This is what happens when you run out of grease... lol

Stay tuned for more pics from Afghanistan!! Wink
