av8rnik Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not good at all. akscott, angers you in what way? That you want to get out there and do your part to keep incidents life this from happening or because there was something that could have been done? just trying to understand your perspective.

d10 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm not sure why you would have wanted to be here for this. I was running up for a Medevac mission today and watched a single OH-58 come in and land at our FARP. It was one of the saddest things I'd ever seen.

yakfishr19 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 akscott60, you said you deploy in 15 months, does everyone in your flight school class deploy that soon after flight school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott60 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 On guy from my class already deployed, and my buddy in the class behind me went right to AFG. We are at war so this happens sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloidaho Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Depends on what unit you go to and their deployment schedule / needs more than anything. Prayers to the families of the fallen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brackac Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I went to flight school with both Monte and Thalia. They were due to rotate out of Afghanistan in the next couple of days. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
