Just kidding. My old Sea and Anchor station was in the radar room, with my cheek pressed against the nice cool deck.

You are correct about my location. I'm pretty sure my chief was there when this was taken, I earned that nap. I got my DD214 over a year ago, so it doesn't matter who sees me slacking now.

Working 12-18 hours a day, seven days a week can be fun, eh? Hope you're enjoying the civillian life, I'll be joining ya sooner or later.

I've done three short 6-month tours in Iraq both before and after retiring from the Army. 2003, 2005, and 2007. I'll like begin my fourth at the end of the summer. I do get to return for about 6 weeks by at the end of this month. Can't wait!

I'm the guy with the mustache below.

Here's a pic at after convoying to ABU G in 2005,



a pic before loading on a UH60 saround midnight,




and a pic at a lunchen with President Bush sometime between my 2005 and 2007 tours.

Boy how things have changed. Mr Johnson & Mr Nixon never took the time to swing by the RVN to chow down with me.

The lunch wasn't in Iraq. It was in Northern Virginia.

Hi all. I'm a flightline crew chief for the Air National Guard, been in two years and am an E4. First picture is me sitting on the crew door in training, second is one of the aircraft I work on. Credit goes to David Townsend on the second photo. I'll have millions of photos come next January.

I think just about everyone here knows about my brother dying on January 26 in Iraq but I wanted to share some pictures of him. He loved the army, loved his job, and was career.

In this first picture he's the guy lying down in the front:


A close up...


On February 13th, we buried him at Arlington National Cemetery. I love my little (big) brother and will miss him every day for the rest of my life.
I came home with these:

Thank-you so much for sharing these Darlene. I realize it must be very difficult for you. I can't speak for everyone here, but just know that your brother's service and ultimate sacrifice was appreciated. RIP.

It is sobering when we hear of a loss, especially close to home, however we do appreciate his sacrifice and thank you for sharing your pictures of him.
