How Many Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines.......

The Rock Fabrik is all over the place.

The Original (and best in my opinion) is in Stuttgart where I was born and raised (I was an Army Bratt as well) and there is one in Nurnberg, Augsburg, Munich and probably a hundred other places.

I never hung out in Schweinfurt as I lived near Nurnberg. The only time I went to Schweinfurt was when we flew there on a mission.

MK, for all the missile cruisers, carriers, aircraft, satellites and other assorted toys the military has, it all boils down to some dirty, tired, hungry, horny ground pounder standing on a particular piece of dirt and saying "Mine, you can't have it, and I dare you to try and take it away!"

I think the world of all branches, and appreciate everything they do, but I have to admit my heart is still with the boys on the ground. I would still be there but for a encounter with some Russian made, Iraqi employed ordnance.

Sorry, I don't mean to preach.

Hey buddy - you're absolutely right!

Marine Air, and I would imagine Army Air too, is in direct support of the grunt. That's what it's all about.

After doing some back reading on the "Military Members post pics of you in your uniforms" thread, I am not trying to start another "Infantry is all there is" discussion. On the contrary, I owe my life to an angel. An ugly,tired, dirty angel flying a Blackhawk with a red cross on the side. If I ever find that guy, well, he will never get that drunk again in this lifetime.

All of us on the ground, past, present and future our our collective as*es to those who bring us to the fight, bring us what me need to fight, cover us in the process, and pull us out when our fight is over. Thanks from a ground pounder. We could not do it without you.

If you know the unit and name let me know. I have many friends in Medivac and we have a Medivac at our airfield here. I can try and track the guy down for you. If you do not know the name or anything let me know the time frame this happened and I can try and track it down this way.

Afternoon of Feb. 28th, 1991.

For location, sorry, I do not remember the map grid. It was a bunker, Middle of the frikin' desert, Iraq.

I appreciate the inquiry Der Alder.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I will see what I can find out. I doubt I can find out this far back. I was thinking of this time around in Iraq. I will see what I can do.

Sounds like I lived next door. I was in Fulda 84-87. I never knew they let guys that score above 70 into a tank. It does not matter the branch, we all are glad to see Medivac. They are some brave SOBs that get no press at all.

[Cdat88]

What can i say DB...I insisted on Infantry, then reclassified to Armor (damn tired of walking!) I was offered a couple of high end jobs, but felt I had a family standard to uphold. I agree about the medivac. I used to tease them and say only head cases would do that for a living!

 

[cougar32d]

19k first then infantry, can't brag enough about those ballsy medevac crews, i owe some 1st armored guys a beer or 2. they are the hero's in my book

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Cdat88 I went golfing today with a guy from the Medivac here and he is going to see if he can find some things out but he doubts (as I do as well) because that is too long ago.

 

[Cdat88]

I understand Der Adler. I appreciate your help. 1991 is ancient history for things like that...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Exactly and as he said they dont ask the names of the patients on board. Sorry I could not help...

 

[Cdat88]

No problem. The point is you were willing to ask. Much appreciated.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Once military my friend, allways military and we have to stick together.

 

[Cdat88]

And to you young crewchief.

Felice di conoscerti!
Conosco Sigonella.

I was based in La Spezia, north west of Italian coast.

comiso after the name of the AF base in Sicily?

My father visited the base once in the early 80s...
