Favorite MOONS

Since it has been brought up! Some of my favorite moon incidents include:

First formation badboy moon at the end of our training at Ft. Hood.

The Netherlands moon at the British air force base. Where we taught the English on Dutch soil how the moon rises when our Apache brothers come in to land.

Moon river serenade when Byran was getting spincter tone check after the drop zone incident.

I wish I could post a picture of some of these moons! Erich had a great one in Zoom Bags on the wall.

If you have a picture, feel free to post I would love to see them!

Least favorite moon:

Watching the moon set in Iraq--- waiting to perform a dreaded mission, as I recall the bad boys were to attack an artillery emplacement, from the front while our sister companies were to attack from behind. We flew to a holding area, shut down, turned on the portable radio and waited for the moon to set. Three nights in a row. Mysteriously, the mission was called off.

Sometimes it hurts to be the best. I just glad we didn't have to put it to the test those nights!

It was a FROG Battalion and we were sent to destroy the S-60 guns, although knowing and watching what I've seen since, hitting an S-60 with a hellfire at night at the range we were going to shoot from would have been lucky at best. Steve Segal does it right, close with your enemy and kill him at close range...
