Same to you. When were you at the 20th?
ETA: duh, reading is fundamental 2003-2007
Yeah, I was at the 20th. First paired with Cliffy and still keep in touch. Spent my final days back in the Current Ops hole with Dirty D.
C-5 pilot here… Screen name was what I wanted to fly…
Pave Low Mafia! Would that be Dyle that you spent your last days with at the 20th? I went through 60 IQT with him last year in NM.
I know a few guys from the 20th and the other unit at hurby as well. I can’t remember the name of the other 53 unit but I know they were the dust devil’s or something along that line.
I’m a FNG on the 60. I only got 180 hrs and will see my first deployment later this year.
On a tragic note. I think you guys might know this 53 gunner named W. Eaton. Awesome guy and damn good gunner. He has terminal cancer and is getting treatment later this week. I have about 7 ex 53 guys in my unit now. Just PM me if you want.
AWESOME! I was Offensive Avionics Tech for B-1s at Ellsworth! I miss the B-1 something crazy.
Miss flying this one…
Now it’s all desk flying 
Cheers,

That was the 21st SOS. They were out of Moldyhole.
Wow guys! I love it. The Pave Mafia is great. Those are the biggest choppers I have ever laid eyes on short of the Chinook. Beerswimmer, that is so Bad Ass! You are the true Guardian (Kevin Costner). Thank you guys for serving our country. I am just a city cop that envies all of you. If only I went into the service and not college…hmmm.
This should be a air crew sticky for all military to share pics and stories.

Former Aeroscout Aviator here.
Learned to fly in the UH-1H and flew OH-58A/A+/C models. It’s been about 15-years since my last flight (flew an OH-58 from Groton, CT to New Orleans, LA) and I really miss it.
Anyone know a good program to compress my pictures. I got some pictures that are like a megabyte or more.
Also how do you post the pictures so they do not appear as links for everyone to see. I’m new at this forum stuff and balls deep in the books. Fellow FE’s know my pain.
Just open a free account with a site like photo bucket.
When you upload it will shrink them down and can lower the quality if needed. Then when you look at the pic it will have four different lines you can copy (ie. for facebook, or a normal link), one will be for a forum image (image code) and should have something like [img sample pic img] at the front and back. Hope that helps…bring on the pics. and don’t forget to include the ar/m4 ones 
First few were my M4 pics. Don’t have the qdss-nt4 suppressor on it since i didn’t like the length and weight in an aircraft. If I ever need that gun I want people to know I’m shooting at them to keep them back, not stay quiet!
My new civilian M&P15, pretty close except everything is new and now all dusty and no full auto

I’ll post some pics when I get a chance. When did you get out?
Here is my 60 pics.
I didn’t get out. I reenlisted and got orders to Tinker AFB. Now I’m working on AWACS. Nowhere near as cool or fun. I miss seeing a full winchester after the crew came back from a long OEF sortie.
I knew that Weapons guy from Ellsworth! I deployed with him back in 2007!
I was at one time a crew chief for the flying school bus. CH-47D… The most awesome piece of aviation that you will ever lay eyes on.
Looks like two palm trees fuckin’ a dumpster, but they are pretty cool machines.
