Yup, we are like used tissue, when the government is done with us, we get thrown away.Well, of course, he has those.
The helicopter incident was the beginning of his back problems--which is probably why they don't want to find them.
When I was at Hunter Army Airfield we had a guy who wasn't watching where he was going and walked into the tail rotor of a running helicopter. His brains were spread all over the tarmac.
Ewwww yulk. DH was unconscious for a while and many thought he was dead. Thank goodness he wasn't. 
Jan, ask him if he wore this patch and crest and the Transportation Corps insignia, when he was stateside. If so, then he was Army Aviation. Overseas, he probably was assigned to the 101 but officially he was Tranportation Corps, or Army Aviation.
Like you said before Jer, the 101 went 'air mobile' as did my div. First Cav and we had our own guys flying - not saying that others didn't fly as well but the 101st and the First Cav were the only fully 'contained' units there (in the Army) where we didn't share logistics, birds, gun support, etc. with anyone. But again - there could be assignments in special cases - but all our guys wore the First Cav patch.... I happen to have worn the left patch on the other arm when I came stateside - Fort Rucker Alabama where infantry were assigned to the helicopter school for training.
I had to walk on the flight line every week, when I was delivering and picking up documents from brigade headquarters. I was always careful to stay on the side of the tarmac and to know what was around me.Ewwww yulk. DH was unconscious for a while and many thought he was dead. Thank goodness he wasn't.
Well he knew how to fly it but wasn't a pilot (we won't tell anyone that though lol). He was in charge of the crew & helicopter though. Except for the war part, he liked what he did.
Well, I got to head for bed---got RW running to do in the morning.

Night Jan....
Hi Kent, you wore the 1st Cav patch on your right shoulder and the aviation patch on your left shoulder, when you came back stateside. Right ??
Goodnight Jan and I should get out of here too. Goodnight Deej and Kent and whoever else may still be here. CUL RM
Right - on the left when over there, right when back. I also spent some time in the hospital first as a patient and later as a first cav liason in Bien Hoa and our quonset hut was also the entrance to the emergency room and I saw a lot of helicopter injuries.... and other stuff of course.
Night Jerry, Deej....
Night, Jerry!
Night, Kent!
(gotta get up early in the morning so I don't miss my crossing over!)

One last comment. It can get a bit mixed up. I was Army Aviation stateside, but in Korea, I was assigned to the Signal Corps. In my records, I was always part of the Adjutant General Corps. Go figure, lol.
