I have a picture of me sling loading the first EH-60 with a Chinook from an Amish farm in upstate NY. The Amish thought it was armageddon at first.

Edit+++++

I forgot the best part. When the Chinook was hovering, the sling went under the M/R hub. The TI and I had to free it until the slack was all taken out, but the Chinook didn't wait for me to dismount. I did not perform a proper PLF. The Amish thought I was trying to ride on top of the helicopter back to Fort Drum.

Sure. I've got a picture of a woman who earned a Cav hat and a PFC not asleep on guard duty. What else you got?

Can't have fun when deployed. We created a "Cigar Lounge inside a shop container an NCO found in our FOB. #Sharana Cigar Club. We had t-shirts made.

Before and after photos. We received a cigar care package worth about $700 for standing up a cigar club.

It has an espresso machine, Ipod seeker, extractor fan (MacGyver style), and a fridge for near beer.

Every picture of me in the army was a picture that someone said couldn't be done. I was surrounded by negative people who didn't even believe I could enlist.
