You were on the Kitty Hawk? Nice. What aircraft did you work in? Got a pic?
Yes the Shitty Kitty, the Stinkin' Lincoln was much nicer, and brand new when I was on it. I was in HS2 the Golden Falcons on the Hawk working on H3D Helos. Any pictures I have would bo on paper.......

Here we go. A few of us from my unit in Kuwait, summer 2002. With the 332nd. I am on the right. And no, I didn't fly the A-10 behind me, or work on it, or get to play in it, etc. Just a Comm troop, they don't trust us with a rifle!

Another Comm guy here! 31K, Combat Signaler, Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC - AIT at Ft. Gordon, GA
2nd Battallion, 123rd Field Artillery, Illinois Army National Guard 1989-1995
Didn't have to go to Desert Shield/Storm (we were on alert), but went to Honduras for training. Got called up for the Mississippi River Flood of '93. My old unit did go to Iraq this time though.

Now I have "As the cassions go rolling along" stuck in my head. My great-uncle was in the Coastal Artillery, but a ways back, in 1909, heh. So the Combat Signaler was a link to battalion, or anywhere?
