Me,Peace time Army....But when your flying with the best it's good to be the best.No room for error.No room for slackers.Off to the motor pool for slackers.

Army aviation is another Army.Only rotor heads would understand.
Well said -

With 1,100 hrs. of combat time in RVN, I know how tight crewmembers are. All of Flight Platoon were very close - even when we didn't agree on the ground (Heads vs Juicers).

A few things I always carried as much for use as superstition:
P38
Zippo lighter
plastic spoon
pocket knife (small)
Buck hunting knife (large)
sun glasses (aviator style naturally)
extra gas cylinder plug for M60
