Thanks! looks like it went well and I'll be joining the Army
It was even more fun in the UH-1, where you've facing out. Double fun when you're wearing a pack and sitting out on the edge of the seat.Outstanding! I always loved open door banking at tree-top level. Counting pine cones...

Mike, that shit-eating grin tells the whole story! Good on ya!

Had my first drill... Pretty much in a holding platoon of a few other guys (and girls) waiting for school seats. In the mean time, get to have a little fun!
Didn't realize how breezy it gets back there... easily 150+ MPH winds with the rotor wash. My face looks like it does skydiving.
Gorgeous day over the cape.

Hey brother you make me proud that uniform is all squared away have at it 5811
At what point did the pilot tell you that you were just ballast...
Pretty sure army currently requires 2 rated pilots in pretty much everything. Even the "solo's" at ruck from what I understand have 2 students in the cockpit.

I'm not sure what the policy is for Warrants, but when I started active duty in 1986, commissioned officers received a one-time $600 uniform allowance. The amount had been the same since the '60s.I've since acquired a pair of army boots, but if they don't have my stuff by WOCS it looks like I'll be spending a grand or so on uniforms.
I thought I've heard about crew chiefs getting the occasional ride. Maybe I made that up.

We had to spend about $1,200 on basic duty uniforms (BDUs, Class A green, and Army Blue), and replacement was on our own dime for as long as we stayed in.
I think this is the only avatar I've ever had... so I'll probably keep it.
