You would have gone to your combat assaults in one of the 11th aviation groups choppers,unless you were in the 9th Cav. As I recall they had there own choppers with crossed sabres painted on the front, and a lot of the fellas looked like they were in Custers army. When I think about it it doesn't seem like a long time ago.

you boys and your toys
I tried to get the Corps to take me but they wouldn't for medical reasons and I couldn't get a waiver.
So I married a Marine instead I'm a sucker for that uniform and I was going to get into those blues one way or another ....lol
