I got promoted! Actually it is the rank I enlisted with but they screwed up the paperwork and didn't know I was an E-2 upon enlistment and a good thing for me.
I left for basic training on a flight from Ohare in Chicago IL and got stuck on a seat next to a guy who looked like Charlie Manson and he talked all the way to texas about how much fun it would be. Do you think we'll get a maching gun to shoot? I can't wait to go to war! I'm gonna do this and that and the other thing. OMG I wished the guy would just shut up, but on and on we went. Even to this day I don't have a clue where we landed but remember getting off the plane and all these sergeants were there with clipboards and screaming at us assholes to form up in ranks, but nobody knew what that meant except me because I had four years of Army ROTC training in high school. Didn't help much in this situation, but we finally managed to get into a line and they put us on busses and took us to the Air Base for more processing and more paperwork to fill out and sign. We were super tired and it was like O dark O'clock when we finally got to our barracks only to find more shit to listen to even though some guys were falling asleep as they stood. That's when we met SSgt Lundsford. We got a speech about duty, honor, country..then an ass chewing like you wouldn't believe about how we were grabastic pieces of shit, but how he would help us become fucking human beings worthy of serving in the armed forces of our country...on and on it went, he picked out a few people to personally villify and knock around, but finally we got to go to our bunks and sleep. It was around 3am (0300). Too bad that revelie was at 0600, and we got a rude awakening with SSgt Lundsford screaming lots of nasty stuff and dumping bunks over spilling the sleeping occupants on "his" shiny floor and fucking it all up! He checked his roster and asked if anyone had ROTC training and I almost raised my hand, but heard him mumble...oh, we don't have any..good...I hate those assholes and love to fuck with them, so I put my almost raised hand back down. It was a wise decision too.
My plane buddy who looked like charlie manson looked alot different when he got his beard and head shaved off, but he still went on about how he was going to be a war hero. But that only lasted two days. He was so frightened by the TI he ran across the upper floor of the barracks on the second day and right throught the window and screen...I saw his body hit the grass outside the barracks and roll off in spasms. They called an ambulance and took him away...not that big a hero I guess. Another guy tried the same thing the next day but couldn't manage to break throught the glass and screen. But after these guy were weeded out we got down to the business of...marching alot and playing robots. I liked it.

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.
Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.
Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

I turned the camera back toward myself during this training mission while sitting in the rear cockpit of the T-34C Turbomentor. The mission was to navigate by visual landmarks. At one point we were flying inverted while I looked up (down) to the terrain to find a bridge or something. Shortly thereafter I threw up. Good times.

My photography is all about people, emotions, connections and interactions to the environment. I love shooting topics about humanity.
