When I was a Private in the 2ACR I went out into the woods at our LTA and found a comfy log to launch from. The regimental Commander had visited and as his helicopter lifted off it came to a hover about 50 meters from me and whoever was in the front seat waved at me. I was in mid delivery and was trying to decide if I should stand and salute, fall over backwards, what exactly. I went with waving back.

The day Jurgen blew himself out of the crapper in Costa Rica. Someone mixed way to much mogas with the diesel in the burn bucket and when Jurgen flicked the ash from the cigarette he wasn't supposed to be smoking in the crapper into the bucket, the crapper went off and he was thrown out onto the ground. There he was trousers down and covered in crud, hair singed off and disoriented as all get out.
There are a hundred Jurgen stories, great guy, hard worker and good friend, but if something was amiss you could put money on him being in the middle of it. Jurgen was killed in a motor bike accident shortly after he got back from the Gulf war.
