i was in the army from 1992-98. my first duty assignment after ait at ft eustis, va was korea, camp humphreys, and than ft campbell, ky for 4yrs until my contract was up, my favorite moment was when my aviation wings were pinned on, i was a ch47 mechanic + everything else they wanted me to do, toolroom, nightvision goggle tech, master of the broom... and post police, we did everything, i drove the scamp in korea camp humphreys we were the blackcats, my job was to move the aircraft around the airfield not to mention driving the hemmet, humvees, 21/2 tons, i was a saw gunner m249 and a m-60 gunner,i got out right before the 240b was entering service. some of my fondest memories were of course all of the friends, no matter what are backgrounds were, blk, white hispanic ect we all pretty much got along, it was awesome being part of a team. my worst memory was wearing mop gear in 100 degree heat while digging an m-60 fighting position, and korean winter winds even though i was wearing all of the cold weather gear polypros and the gortex pants and jacket that wind would rip right to the bone, also jrtc mosquitos. but boy did i ever enjoy the air gunnery range, firing all kinds of weapons and the missions with the rok army special forces those guys were the baddest dudes ive ever seen, and getting to work on chinooks with the australian army at ft campbell, they were awesome soldiers and great people. i miss the military as well it was the best thing i could of ever done, i wouldnt have gotten out but due to medical issues i had to. flying on the chinooks was a blast, but what is so cool they always fly over my house, so in a way it seems like im still part of army. im still waiting for one to break down and land in my yard so that i could help them make repairs.
