[ native] I joined the US Army at 19 y/o as a attack helicopter crew chief Ie; Ah1 Cobra Mod S- production S- and ECAS S. Also OJTed to UH 1D hueys as we were 62 % below inlistment. My AIT traning was at fort Eustis Va. First dutie station was B troop 6th cavalry 7/17th bgde ACS Fort Hood texas. After 4 years as crew chief, I got my college in so I could go into pilot program. the rest is a long list but I did retire in 2001 with 21 years. I still love modeling and the Helicopter has a special place in my heart and soul. Hope I didn't bore you to death. Travis. PS keep beating the wind inti submission.
