Getting loaded out in North Carolina
Taking off out of Raleigh, NC bound for Fort Hood, TX on April 3 2009. CW3 Danny Piland and I were the two pilots to fly the 24th of 24 Apaches to Fort Hood, a full week after everyone else had left. This helicopter was down for maintenance and it took us longer than expected to get it fixed. On the bright side, Jane and the girls were in Raleigh with me so we had a bonus week long vacation together. 
The extent of my personal space in the barracks. There are 4 of us to a room, and we only have hot water every other day. They say they are going to fix that soon. We'll see.
My over-stuffed wall locker. We got issued a ton of gear (which is all cool), but we don't have much room to store it.

Nice wall locker, it reminds me of one I just left in Turkey. It was also over-stuffed, but not so much with cool stuff. FYI if you are ever in Turkey and try to get on google, it automatically transfers you to the turkish version. Me no speaky turkey. I thought that all the fly boys got their own rooms, breakfast in bed, foot rubs, etc. What's with sharing a room with someone?
