FFE.jpgFire Away!178 viewsNote the left hand of the AG has a firm grip on the lanyard. The next thing you will hear is "boom!". However, Ft Sill DOES NOT approve of anyone "straddling" the trail of a howitzer. Ten demerits.
Danny_Fort.jpgWho else?174 viewsOf course...it's Danny "Cowboy" Fort!
IncomingChop.jpgIncoming Chopper174 viewsAn excellent photo and "memory of being in the field" in Vietnam. This picture shows the talent of our Huey pilots getting into and out of hastily created LZs. You can almost hear the "pop-pop" of the blades.
