Terry ,did some AIT at ft. Lost in the Woods . Didn’t care for the weather there . All the times we flew over Europe we never did jump in there . Would’ve been cool to jump in Holland like my great Uncle did . We did get to fast rope a few times up by Graf during a big NATO workup.
Did my Air Assault training in the 2 nd year of the division switching over . That was a blast and would do that again. Although ,going on 64, it might not work out so well. Once we switched from Airborne to Air Assault we only jumped enough to keep our jump status.

An 0300. Where were you stationed?
I jumped to conclusions. There are other MOS's in the Grunts other than 03xx.

I was in communications... Spent a lot of time running wire. 3/3 was in Hawaii in those days. Did a West Pac in 84 and a fly-away in 85.

West-Pac I get but I don't know what a "fly-away" is. Educate me.

As a Navy Air Traffic Controller a "fly-away" is anytime you have a mass movement of aircraft
to avoid an approaching storm (Hurricane) or when an aircraft carrier is returning to homeport
then aircraft have to leave the carrier while still at sea. The main thing is it's a large movement
of planes.

Bump.

My Niece is stationed just down the road a piece from where you were at Tyndall, AFB. She and her husband are both lifers and they're happy with it. I think she has 5 years to go before retirement & he has three. She's a Master Sergeant (E-7). He's a Senior Master Sergeant (E-8).

There is a lot of truth to that one, though.

I worked on Navy and Marine Corps aircraft (primarily rotary wing), but never flew in one.
