Country:  | I served as an SAS, Saturday Afternoon Soldier in the Australian Defence Force (Well it was the Army in my day)
2RVR & 16RWAR suffered my presence, which included time spent at Campbell Barracks learning Intelligence gathering, none of it stuck though.
My only Active service was in repelling a USMC MEU at Lancelin, which included having a spare pair of Marine boots jump on my jaw, nothing broken, only cracked.
But at the age of 22 I decided life was more important, and I met this young lady............ | |

Country:  | Hey everyone
Just saying hello to everybody. Just joined this site.
I'm in the USMC and currently slogging my way through flight school in the Beech T-34C. A blast to fly when there's not an instructor choking you from the back seat! I'm putting in for Helos - and hopefully I'll get Hueys. | |

Country: | Huey is a good helo! My Dad flew it when he was in the Army many moons ago. I am a Blackhawk crewmember in the Army (wanted Hueys but they would not give it to me). Well atleast for another 12 more days until I am out of the Army.

I understand that Anchorage has the busiest small plane field in the world and the largest float plane lake (plane wise). Also saw some Blackhawks in formation and some flare activity from the Army base there.
The other day while I was visiting my sister in Big Lake, we drove by a small air museum near the Anchorage airport. It had a wing of a P-40E recovered from Dutch Harbor. A plaque said the plane was flown by a Lt. MacIntire. The wing had several rifle caliber holes in it and a few large caliber (20mm?) holes. The large caliber holes did a lot of damage. I looked the pilot up on the internet and found a pilot report from a B-17, I think, that recored his P-40 loss along with another to Zeros. Lt. MacIntire survived. | |

Country: | No I have not started searching for a job yet in Alaska. My wife still has a couple of years left to finish college here in Germany before we move to Alaska.
I want to work for Evergreen in Anchorage though, when we do move there.
