At first I thought they were going to send us back to the Tuttle detail, but by the time the stun charge wore off the guys had confirmed we're headed for Afghanistan. Good news is this Keith fellow doesn't fly helicopters. Bad news is he flys *in* them, and likes to take... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html Fri, 29 Apr 2005 12:31:47 -0600 It was a doe, and while it didn't totally freak Katie Kat out, dragging the mangled carcass into the back of the truck, while poetic irony, would have sent her over the edge... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-24102 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-24102 Mon, 02 May 2005 16:32:09 -0600 In summer 1976, I was withing a couple months of my first ETS. I had several close calls in that time, not the least of which was being in a uh-1 that almost crashed into the top of a hill on the big island of Hawaii (Pohakuloa Tng Area). I was getting pretty spooked, and TINS that was one of the big reasons I just went ahead and reenlisted. After that, nary another problem. I'm not superstitious, but Hawaii can make you wonder--like whether or not there really are memehunis (hawaiian leprechauns--sort of).

Things are getting hotter over here, temperature and activity wise, and I'm still around taking pictures. Just wish I could stay around a little (or a lot) longer. But, I have a feeling we'll be here awhile and I'll get a chance to come back. 16 and a wake up... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23903 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23903 Sun, 01 May 2005 04:04:57 -0600 http://www.villainouscompany.com/vcblog/archives/2005/04/turd_in_the_blo.html You're 'it'.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23734 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23734 Sat, 30 Apr 2005 14:45:27 -0600 How many points and were the tenderloins intact? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23705 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/04/more_intercepted_guardian_angel_traffic.html#comment-23705 Sat, 30 Apr 2005 01:09:01 -0600 Well, kudos for sending one o' them angels in my direction last night...
