I will be going back to Iraq in September for the second time. I fly H-60 Sierras as a medevac pilot/flight surgeon.
Completed 87 combat missions last year over Iraq and Kuwait.
Currently being reassigned on May 29th to Naval Special Warfare HSC 84 in
Little Creek and Norfolk, Virginia assigned to SEAL TEAM Casevac support. Will
oversee all casevac missions in Bagdad and Northern Iraq next year.
May end up in Afganistan down the road.
Life is short 69ers! Have fun and make the best of it!
I am living proof that with very little effort, you can find a lot of pain and
misery.
Should bust 30 years next year in Navy Reserve and Active Duty. Delivered
babies and hacked out cancer in the Navy for years as a reservist.
Rank is Commander but already selected for 06(Captain) for this September

"I served not for the glory, nor for the money -- but for those on my left and on my right." That paraphrases an Armed Forces Network "commercial" -- but it sums up my thoughts on military service.
