Not soon enough for some I know! My USMC Infantry son and his buddies jumped on an old one, the crew chief was from the house next door to ours.
A nice reunion in Iraq, until smoke billowed from an overhead transmission!
The guys said, nice to see your pal, but we never want that bird again!
When asked the crew chief said 'no big deal'.

Heard a story about a guy who saw some fluid squirting out of a small hose in a ch53. Asked the crew chief if that leak was bad. Crew chief said it’s will be bad if it stops leaking.

Was in northern Minnesota one time. A big mosquito landed in a meadow and 8 grunts ran right up its ass before they realized it wasn’t a ‘53.
Swear it happened just like that,,,,

Way back when, I flew the old CH-53D. Great bird, but this new Kilo is awesome!

“Ultimately, the Corps plans to have eight active duty squadrons, one training squadron, and one reserve squadron”.
How many helicopters are in a squadron?

I can see it is appropriate for disabled, other-abled, and special needs persons but just hope the lav offers a unisex / TV / TS / TG / transitioning friendly environment.
