| Howdy From Texas Hi Guys, I am a former Jarhead with a bent for Military History and modelling. I am currently researching the 384th BG for my Uncle Levi, who flew 32 missions as a TT/Eng without a scratch. At the end of the war in the ETO he transferred to the PTO and was in one of the first landing in Japan with the 15th AF. Their mission was to send POWs back to the states. Not bad for a farm boy from Arkansas. A couple of months back he took his 33rd mission aboard 'Nine-O-Nine' and really got a kick out of it. I have an extensive aircraft and military library (much to my loving wife's dismay)...So if I can help anyone drop me a line. Yall gotta nice site here...Congrats!

| Welcome Lucanus, from a fellow Marine. What was your MOS? I'm in Advanced Helos at NAS Whiting Field, then I'm off to New River.

 To be fair - I think I would have liked Texas better if I was stationed there for more than 6 months. It wasn't a nice feeling moving there a month before our baby was due, changing docs and hospitals, when I was just going there for multi-engine and then returning to Pensacola.

Just kidding Lucanus. But remember, on this forum you got to have a sense of humor (or humour to our "cousins" across the sea) Welcome aboard!
