I've been stationed at Moody AFB, GA (38th and 41st RQS); Keflavik NAS, Iceland (56th RQS); Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ (55th RQS); Nellis AFB, NV (66th RQS).
I now serve as a defense contractor as the injuries I sustained during a training incident have removed me from the military. I still wanted to serve in any way I could, and normal civilian life isn't for me. I've worked for Defense Support Services, L3/Vertex Aerospace, Lockheed Martin and Dyncorp International. As a contractor, I have been involved with the following;
AMARG - D-M AFB, AZ (Foreign sales aircraft)
Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA USAR (UH-60A/OH-58/AH-64D/CH-47)

Haha. The 240 is a bad ****. I didn't enjoy walking around with it. Our tacops guy thought it would be a good idea to practice PR in the desert. Longest 8 hours over there. Still remember when we left Kuwait. All those damn classes how everything will shoot you down. Sensory overload. Got to my bed and passed out for a solid 10 hours.
Here's some pics from back in the day and now.
Somewhere there is a CSM flipping out over a multicam baseball hat and ACU uniform......
You do know there is a APU under that door right? And that is NOT the place to heat up your black bean and rice burrito MRE. lol
Doors off big boy club, remember to hold on to the map. lol
HGU-56 with a Maxillofacial Shield and a NVG flat pac. My original NVG's had one hockey puck battery and mounted with a hook and surgical tubing snapped to the sides.
Just because I eat pork and watch ****, I am not a Infidel. Yea right.
I once had to tell a WOJG that the NVG's work better.....wait for it.... with the caps off? lol X2, not really because we were already taxing out for line up.
I started crewing with a SPH-4 NON TPL liner, full face 5's and a M60D...pilots had cutaway PVS-5's. I am not complaining, at least we HAD NVG's.
