June "Part - 2"

Here is a little bit more flying on the Chinooks
They call it "Big Windy". Its a fitting name, When we do hoist from the ground these big birds hover about 50'-100' above us and we have to stand sideways or we will blow away!

Big Windy Front Side

Here is the gunner

Holman and I getting ready to go on mission!

On a mission inside Big Windy!

Pulling up some Casualties.

Here is the 1st Sergeant getting double IVs.
As you can see I am done with mine on the right of the picture. Just waiting on the other guy ;)

Here are some Little Birds

Oh there so cute!!!! But if you ever see them coming your way, RUN and TRY and hide!

Cool Guys ready to rumble.

Sunset over our FOB

Not to bad ehh.

Here is my cute little Fathers Day box. Whitney sent me all sorts of goodies! This is the first time I can celebrate this awesome day! To bad I'm in Afghanland. I love Whitney for always putting a smile on my face.

So Holman(another medic here) got these little parachute guys a gag gift. So the doc bought this knife ad took us up the tower and said who ever can land closest to the knife gets it. 
So by me posting this, means I won it :)

Here I am getting ready to go hang out with the Medivac guys on the German side.

These bomb shelter rooms are what we stayed in.
I should of taken a picture with the doors open. They are super thick!

This is the outside of them. Notice the thick windows

They have these little sunbathing areas all over. To bad it's about 120 degrees here. 

They even have a BBQ pit with an out door patio. 

And yes we did have a BBQ the night I got there. 
This picture was staged, but still we really did have a BBQ.

Here is one of the O.R. rooms at the German hospital

And here are some pics of the Medivac Birds and flying around on them. 











Here is the Doc getting ready to go take care of some business. 

Here we are posing to be cool! The little guy in front pushed me into the shadows.
So I will have to take another one like this. 

So this is the equivalent to the Quik-e-Mart.

The Haji-Shop

We made some additions to our clinic.
Some camo netting for shade

A hula girl that dances in the sunlight.

And the doc bought a Neon Harley Davidson sign for the waiting area.
Its better than the LIVE NUDES one he was going to buy!

One of our pilots getting ready to go kick some butt!

Even our Backhoes are Up Armored.
