By Austin Bay. Endorsed by CAPT H, too." Sound pretty thorough compared to many of the indexs and guides I've perused through. "All-American Decoy:" Hell I actually wrote that in grease pen on my helmet one time during an exercise, while waiting to stand gunguard. "Airman alignment tool" No CTK is complete without one. "Badgeless wonder" or "Badgeless wander" Either way, I keep getting stuck with them. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/hi_fires_20_jan.html#comment-55371 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/hi_fires_20_jan.html#comment-55371 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:37:05 -0600 Do the marine memorial in az. give me a E-mail. need some help. semper-fi. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/hi_fires_20_jan.html#comment-55367 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/01/hi_fires_20_jan.html#comment-55367 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 22:36:24 -0600 We're bracing for our first big storm of the season... and my brand-spankin' new snow blower is ready for the challenge!!!
