Archive for September, 2007
I found a copy of the September edition of “Soldiers ‘R’ Real People Too” magazine laying around the hangar while I was out servicing the Cessna today. The o’l girl is in dire need of a paint job, I spent the last few years traveling around and I haven’t cared for her as well as I should have, a new coat of paint and she’ll be as good as gold again.
I had the hangar mechanic snap a photograph of me and my gal, you can really tell she needs some paint!
I sat down for a bit of a break, propped up my feet and started flipping through the magazine. I was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions, viewing the combat pictures of the young men still fighting on Malden really brought on a huge rush of memories and flashbacks. I immediately thought about my old comrades, thinking they might enjoy these pictures too, I thought I would post some of these pictures on my blog, just maybe these pictures will stir those same crazy emotions and flashbacks in you that I had from the Cold War in 1985.
Hello,
I finally returned from my trip from Malden and thought it was about time to update my blog!
It were an fantastic few days walking through the mountains and forest, but above all it was good to see some of my old friends there, we had a great time.
Now I’m finally back on Nogova but I plan to go back soon to get the pictures I forgot to bring with me (the guy who took the pictures doesn’t have an internet connection like me but he does have a digital camera, how about that?) for this blog, guess I’m getting older.. But anyway, so I’m not to disappoint you readers, I’ve searched through some of my old stuff and found an old postcard from Malden instead.
It’s the only one I could find at the moment, I’m pretty sure I have some more lying around here somewhere.
Will update this post once I find it!
Edit: I have found a more recent postcard from Malden.
Now I’m preparing to go to Malden again, hope there are more pictures to show you once I return.
