Please meet Joe Brower

“I had fun hanging out of a Huey at 2,000 feet!”

Pictures were taken when Joe was assigned to the Infantry Training School and 5th MAB on Camp Pendleton, Ca. 1981.

Joe was a USN Corpsman who volunteered for duty with the FMF. He went to Great Lakes for both basic and Hospital Corps school.

See you later today.
I'm going to the base in Bandon to get some study time in.

[Jen]

Hi GatorGirl. I'm glad you stopped by the Canteen, especially today when we are recognizing the important contributions of military spouses. Good to see you. Hope your honey is home soon. Jen

[Jen]

Joe, that's a funny story. You should send that in to Readers Digest. For a minute there, as a Christian I thought I might have to start filing my claws... hehehehe

I can't imagine that the rotor is held on by one nut. Man! Glad I didn't know that when I flew in a military helo many years ago. I was freaked out enough because it didn't have doors and I have a fear of heights!

[Jen]

What a great story about the 57-year-old dentist going on active duty. Thank you for posting it.

[Jen]

Hi Greg, good to see you here. I wish I could take credit for the list of behaviors of the mil-spec person you enjoyed so much, but I didn't post it. I've seen some good lists on this thread from Bunny and SAMWolf, so it must've been one of their posts that you enjoyed. Take care, FRiend!

[Billie]

Oh, Sam, I swiped your pink rose button. :)

[Jen]

Thank you Tonk for the beautiful bouquet. I love it. Jen
