>Well, the weather definitely has not been our friend recently, and I didn't get to go fly tonight because of it. It actually cleared up later which I thought it would do, but 265 decided to cancel early, and as a result I got to go home early. So showing up late and going home early, I guess I can't complain too much.
I found an Okinawa Marine (the island Marine Corps Newspaper) and took a picture out of it to upload to the blog. This was several weeks ago, but it's my aircraft at an LZ we call Fire Base Jones. A long time ago when they could shoot artillery in the norther
n training area, they used this spot. Basically a cut out at the top of a ridge line. Pretty cool picture. If you want to see the whole article go to http://www.okinawa.usmc.mil. On the right there's a link to the newspaper, and you can click on archives from 2008 and see this one. If you have time to kill you can look all the way back to the article covering our return from Iraq back in Aug 2007.
Another Tiger Tales Squadron newsletter should be out shortly as well… just trying to keep all the family and friends up to date with the goings on out here.
Hope you're all doing well.
Peace,
Adam
