I helped provide communications support to the weapons platoon of a helicopter assault company. The payoff was taking a ride while they fired mini guns and 17 pound rockets at stationary targets. I came back deaf from the guns and had holes burned in my uniform from molten aluminum sprayed from the rockets exhaust.
It was great!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
