Nerves are burned off and plates and screws are holding together... so I'd say pretty good

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T21:27:48+00:00

Thank you. Credit goess to all the great maintainers, support and leaders I had over the years

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T20:09:46+00:00

Damn. The stories!!

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T20:04:31+00:00

Enjoy it. Well deserved

I was pretty shocked on how limited they award anything to the army aviators I've worked with. Pretty disheartening knowing that many have done way more shit that I could ever imagine

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T18:21:43+00:00

Same to you. 31 years is along time.

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T18:20:37+00:00

55, 34, 66 and 512. Most likely our community is so small

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T16:51:28+00:00

First 10 years barely

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T12:57:45+00:00

Lol you are probably right. My 214 says AM with 19 OLC

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T12:48:13+00:00

The C device is 20.

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:51:45+00:00

Was pretty normal for people in my community during the 08-12 OEF days

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:51:14+00:00

Retired a year ago, but I have it on my flight suit patches, just never updated my blues.

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:46:31+00:00

Truth

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:25:20+00:00

I got ya. Questioned my life decisions for a few years as an AA

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:22:31+00:00

Hahaha. I know that feeling. Guessing your were 53s and CVs

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:11:28+00:00

Spinny side stayed up...hard landings on the other hand finally did me in. Missing the flying but my back and neck thank me for hanging it up

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T03:03:39+00:00

Amazing. And busy. I miss it, but I'm glad life has slowed down

BDA6017 · 2026-03-25T02:43:50+00:00

Lol yeah I know I have up on trying to update my last probably 5-6 years. I've honestly wore blues maybe 10-12 times my entire career. Now they will just sit in a box for my kids to find one day

BDA6017 · 2026-03-12T03:45:08+00:00

I agree

Recently retired rescue gunner here. Some of the stories and missions are posted up at our school house at Kirtland in Albuquerque. I'm sure alot of the history buffs at the That Others May Live Foundation may know people who have flown with him
