The Delta guys and me after we almost landed on the wrong house.

My swim buddy and me in our hotel room waiting for the call to go board the U-Haul. Taken during the Ketchikan exercise.

Me during my first HAHO, or high-altitude high-opening, jump trip with my ST6 squadron, just before my parachute cutaway.

 Epic fail! If you look close, you can see the skid marks on the ground behind me.

My camo uniform when I returned from the UBL raid. The blood on the upper left is where the bullet frag entered my shoulder.

The morning after the rescue of Captain Phillips.

Hair Missile and handler on an Afghanistan deployment.

Training with our four-by-fours and side-by-sides.

Me running and gunning during some training when I was at ST5.

Afghanistan. The MiGis a reminder of when Russia fought there for years as well.

A buddy and me about to head out on a freezing cold winter mission in a snow-swept valley.
