Powder_Bags.JPGPicture Worth a 1,000 wordsIn order to explain a little about our firing battery to the folks back home, I used this photo clearly showing the powder bags held up for the Executive Officer (XO) to verify that the correct charge was being used to fire the round. In this case, with four bags out of seven not in the tube, it is Charge 3. That round won't go very far away from the firebase at that charge. PS> Straddling the leg of a 105mm is not Ft Sill approved procedure.May 02, 2015

Service.JPGHanging 'em upAfter 28 years of active and Reserve service, it's time to "hang 'em up". Let someone take your place with new youth and vigor.
My USAR time was spent primarily with the 4152d USAR School in New Orleans and a short stint with the 1192d Transportation and Terminal Unit located at the edge of the famous French Quarter.Apr 28, 2015

IMG_6137.jpgFound my Freedom Bird!With a lot of help from an ex-C-141 pilot, I was able to track down and
reunite with the plane that brought me home from Vietnam. I just happened
to have one picture of me with the plane, and I was able to use the tail
number to find my plane. Apr 12, 2015

IMG_6147.jpgFound my Freedom Bird!I arranged the visit with the public affairs officer at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. The plane is used for dog training at Lackland, and has the wings and tail removed. The Air Force could not have been more hospitable towards us. It was really cool to be back aboard again.
Incidentally, I read the entire book Fail Safe out loud to the guy next me
on the way home. I don't know why!
