Just got word that I will be deploying to Iraq. Will be leaving for Ft. Hood in March for the 6 Month train up, and then to the litter box.

I'm from St. Paul. Just left there actually....from X-mas leave. I'm in the Army at Fort Hood right now. 1st Cav. The ranges on base are 100% free. Bring your guns, ammo, and shoot all day. They have range safety personell and everything....every weekend See you here in March! If I'm not at NTC in CA.....lol |
2-147 Air Assult, 34 ID, Chinook Co. We are a detatchment from the 2-147. We were Kiowa's, Blackhawk's and Huey's, but we got rid of the Huey's and replaced them with Chinook's and then promptly deployed them. I am a 63B, Wheeled vehicle mech., and with two of us we have to take care of 4 HMMWV's, so this should be doable. |
Wait...isn't the Stillwater National Guard Armory (right by my house) home to some members of the 34th ID? I just saw two Chinooks flying pretty close to each other right over Stillwater yesterday, too.  Anyways...best of wishes for your future. |
I would guess they are because AFAIK all MN units are 34ID. I bet that was our Chinook's, because the pilots have already begun some flight train-up localy before we leave. |
