Uh-1N gunner shipping out to afghanistan

On Wednesday night the Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula, GA has a Sportsman Ministry Group meeting. Last night after Bible study (Romans 8: 28-31) the guest speaker Gordon Walker explained everything we needed to know about muzzle loading rifles. When he finished he ask a favor, that we remember his daughter Michelle in our prayers. Of course, we had a special prayer then and there. Michelle is shipping out Friday to Afghanistan as a Huey door gunner. According to dad Michelle is a heck of a shot hitting the target from the Huey over 90% of the time, but she had been a state champion rifle shot I understand. I know they would appreciate your prayers also.

Besides building and using black powder, Gordon guides for “River Through Atlanta” guide service and part time for the DNR. He revealed a little information useful to local residences and future visitors to the area. The primary fish population on the Hooch below Morgan’s Falls Dam is now stripers. He learned this by helping with the shock population count. He uses large streamers.

I pray Michelle is safe while doing her duties in Afghanistan and her aim is always true. I pray for a swift and safe return to her family once her mission is completed.

Thank you Michelle.

OORAH!..and may God Bless!

Visited the Army Aviation Museum at Ft Rucker two weeks ago with my son, an Iraq veteran and now civilian DOD / active reserve. Had the opportunity to demonstrate how we used to parachute from Huey D’s. Best of luck Michelle! We will be thinking of you (in particular) and all of our other brothers, sisters, children and parents going in to harm’s way.
AIRBORNE! (What’s this oorah stuff?)

Back in my day, Vietnam 1963, a female door gunner was something that did not exist and to many of us never would. Michelle, do the job and make us proud! I am already!
Just a Grunt saying thanks.

She is included in our prayers AND please pass on to her father our thanks to her for serving

Michelle and all our servicemen and women will be remembered everyday here.

billhouk,

Loved jumping from and jumpmastering the D Model, but absolute favorite was the old Caribou fixed wing. Tailgating that one was a blast.

11B4P, AIRBORNE! ALL THE WAY!!

Bill and Ron,
They let You use a Chute to exit a Huey? We (7thSFGrp)only got to use a rope or jump in a tree:)

I say a prayer for all our service men & women over there daily. Michelle is included. We can’t do enough for them

bdesavage,

Yeah, at 1200 feet + a rope isn’t much use, but I’ve done a few infils on strings and more than a few McGuire rig extractions under a Huey. Can you still build a donut ring?
