OORAH!

and the night ends badly for my roommate

I had some Marine Corps Balls like that, too!! Some much worse! LOL - Calvin

Speaking of Marines, did anyone hear the ultimate fate of the two Cobras that suffered “hard landings” in Fallujah? I know the crews were rescued with minor bumps and bruises (thankfully!), but nothing was said about the ships themselves. Apparently both were brought down by RPG fire.

I haven’t heard about it. I know the aircrew and the maintainers are having some rough times over their right now, I guess everybody is.

Semper Fi and good luck to you guys… miss serving with ya!
