i beleive that you have ridden in one of these in some sort of exercise, while the machine gun was unloading, but i'm not sure where, or how, as you have pointed out in the past that your mos is administrative.... but the reason i believe you is that from personal experience in desert storm i remember that the air force ran all of my air travell, save that in navy helicopters, and did almost ALL of the medivac, and does indeed have the same equipment as the other armed forces..... i just think that you may have gotten the numbers wrong...
No ownage J -- typo. It happens to the best of us ... especially when you travel two to three weeks out of four PER MONTH ensuring kiddies can feel safe in this nation. Anyway, my AFSC (aka MOS) is Network Admin
now ... but was not always. You mentioned medivac, were you Army? If so, where were you squatting at in the sandbox? I was in the 9th Air Expeditionary Group at Ali Al Salem AB (aka The Rock). Good times for certain ... but the tents sucked.
