Had some kickass 91B's assigned to my platoons. Doc is someone everyone knew and depended on. Everyone that has served knows what I am talking about. I spent by time in the Cav with the D Trp 2/9 (Air), 5/17 Cav, 4/7 Cav, 5/15 Cav among some infantry assignments. All good times.

Re:Are You Retired Military 3 Weeks, 5 Days ago  
Hey fjwells, did you ever fly on any of the 'AC-130' gunships?

I had seen and admired the hell outta the AC-130A when I was in service, but later on I saw the AC-130H Spectre with the 105mm Howitzer and it just shocked the livin stuff outta me when I saw a video of one in operation, WOW !!, a 19,600 hp, 61 ton, 300 mph, onboard infrared guided M102 artilery piece, with a 1300 mile range, that can drop in from 25,000 feet up, just awesome. Then there's the twin 20mm and a 40mm cannons ....



Max

For those of you have have not seen the marvel of an AC-130 gunship:

I didn't retire...after Nam 72-74...I figured I had all I wanted. But...I still support everyone in uniform, and hope and pray for them all, now and tomorrow.

Re:Are You Retired Military 3 Weeks, 4 Days ago  
Well, I see that several here posted while not actually retired... so I will too.

I have often wished I would have stayed in for the duration though; but at the time... when my tour was up I just wanted out. If I had it to do over, I think I would have went to officer school - only for a better paycheck after twenty.

Anyway, hindsight is always 20/20!

Semper Fi!
