Wounds received and subsequent medical review board ended my career and any aspirations for SF that I had. Well, such are the fortunes of life.
As my handle implies, I now drive jets for a living and have flown something, somewhere, for someone almost 30 years now. I feel privileged to be here. Thank you, sirs, for opening your team house door to those outside the realm of the Quiet Professional.
Loyalty above all else, except honor.

Welcome aboard. My uncle was in the 173d over there also, I remember seeing pics of a firebase Elan and Mattie, do you recall any of those?? I don't know what years he was there though.
take care.
