US Marine embarked on her for the first Gulf War. 2nd Combat Engineers attached to 1/2. Still think about her everytime I hear this song. Running the mean fifteen on the flight deck in boots and utes and Muscat, Oman for liberty...
LOVED seeing this. My husband served on the Guam '83-87, Grenada, Challenger recovery, Lebanon..a decade+ before we were to meet. Hot damn this is great video, THANKS!
Found this the other morning while at the VFW - I didnt think there was any Vid of "Flight Ops"- Let alone THAT FUCKING SONG!!!!! - I Love It!! Still HATE that Damn Song!!!!! -- Busting My ASS on 'UNREPS" !!!! And every godamn time "Birds" were coming or going-
Man I hate that song to this day. I remember hating that song during every UNREP during the Desert Shield/Storm deployment. But I have to say everytime I do hear this song it makes me think of all the people I served with. The SinkEx was a sad day.
Did a pump on the Guam and Iwo while in the Corps...great to see this vid. Showed it to my kid. Pretty cool to see now. Back then I didn't really care bout nothing but riding, shooting, and partying. Now this stuff is kinda senimental or something.
Nice video! I served aboard the USS Tripoli (LPH-10) as an LSE (ABH3) on spot 7/8. I have video on VHS of helo ops and Harrier ops. Gonna have to digitize it and do something like this. Thanks for sharing!
I was on board also at that time, charlie co.1bn 2mar.I got sick of that song every time it was played. Now when I here it , I shake my head and smile to myself. thanks for posting.
on was with the battle group for its last deployment before she was decomissioned. One of our guy's father and grand father served on it she an old ship man
I loved it !!
Thank you all for your service :)
