The new guy.......

Welcome from central Utah. And thanks from a fellow vet. Desert Storm 1991, OEF 2004, OIF 2008. 19th SFGA, 211th AVN (AH-64, UH-60).
 
Been there. done that....."Eagle Dustoff" 70/71
I was there 69-70-71, stayed an extra 6 months, missed both Bob Hope shows at Eagle, was sick the first one and was in Japan on R&R for the 2nd one.
Was some scary incoming at Eagle. Had a close call there. Ended up being a funny story after the event.

was around the 220th Aviation, BirdDogs and the 131rst Grumman NightHawks. Was dumb enough to fly missions once in awhile in BirdDogs, New how to fly, so the Warrant Officers liked having someone that could get them back if they were hit.

Know exactly what you mean. I was a flight surgeon (and got RO-1 qualified as a crew chief), but flight surgeons were given the opportunity to learn to fly the UH-60 just in case one of my pilots got incapacitated, I could jump in the seat and get us the hell out of the line of fire.
