Don't worry about the dirt dart reference. My nephew is in the Wisconsin Army Guard (just left for Iraq). When he gets back he wants to get the Airborne training. My only advise to him was do it while he's young!! Alot of the guys I met that were my age seemed to have alot of knee problems.
The gunships are awsome. I did some of my maintenance training on them. Their about the only vehicle worse to work on than a modern FWD car. But if you have some moderately soft targets that need eliminated, they are effective.
