Post by: dreamcatcher on December 31, 2008, 04:18:04 PM: I served, 61-64, US Army infantry. As my ETS neared I thought to re-up if I could get helicopter school (Warrant Officer). Was turned down, so I left and went home. Joined the PD , and here I am, older and retired. Guess I was lucky. A lot of choppers went down.
