Best Moment 1.My first solo mission to support the Cobra Ball at Shemya.
2. Getting an 'Excellent' rating for completion of a Type 'A' task during a major inspection.
3. The total support and encouragement I received from MSGT Waterman as a mentor and friend. -- "Thanks Pete, it all paid off then and continues now as an Air Cav Trooper."
Worst Moment When MSGT Nelson came down to the MA Shop feigning "ducking" as a result of SGT Mike Hammond and myself failing to properly secure a life raft inflation bottle prior to inspection and re-service. The bottle got away from us and pin wheeled throughout the shop until the CO2 was depleted.
