Going into the unknown. Your launched from your seat, fabric tearing as your stuck in a heavy metal plane sinking to the bottom of a lake.

The aviation assets arrived on station approximately 20 minutes after the initial attack began. Over all, the attack lasted about 4 hours. “The bloodiest battle” since the war in Afghanistan began is what the battle of Wanat has come to be known as.

Sandstorm (Tofane Shen): This movie depicts “Operation Eagle Claw,” the failed American mission to rescue the American hostages. In April 1980, eight RH-53D helicopters flew from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to a remote road serving as an airstrip in the Great Salt Desert of Eastern Iran near Tabas.

After the mission and its failure were made public, Khomeini 's prestige skyrocketed in Iran as he credited divine intervention on behalf of Islam for the result.

In the Guard, you pick an MOS to work however you ONLY work as a National Guard member one weekend a month. I am not usually one to be able to do many things at once. I don’t think I would be able to keep up with part time National Guard and continue schooling and other jobs that may be provided.

I almost fell into it. On that day we found a secret path that was in a valley with tall, and beautiful evergreen trees on either side.
