		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t say it more.. I HATE PACKING!! First it takes forever to get everything together and figure out what needs to go where. Which bag do I put this in. Does this need to go towards the top or bottom? Do I really need this? Then you end up taking too much or too [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a thought the other day and it&#8217;s been kinda bugging me. I look at all the Vietnam vets and all the problems they have had. Most were draftees, and/or one tour soldiers. Most of the OIF/OEF soldiers are multiple tour soldiers, and multiple front veterans. This is something that hasn&#8217;t really been seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A &#8220;New Dawn,&#8221; huh!? So that&#8217;s the name the powers that be came up with for OIF now that we are no longer &#8220;engaged in combat operations.&#8221; First off, that name sucks! New Dawn sounds like some hippie festival in the California desert. And here I thought &#8220;Provide Comfort&#8221; was the cheesiest operations name to [...]]]></description>

The area had a herd of Dall Sheep on it, but they ran down the mountainside out of view before I could get any pictures.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I flew. And I do mean flew. Over six hours of continuous flight. We were doing specialized High Altitude training. The flight included learning how to fly and maneuver around high mountain peaks, glaciers, and in the high winds of big mountain ranges. I have to admit, placing one wheel down on a high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent about half my day today doing hoist MEDEVAC operations with another unit. They would call in a 9-line MEDEVAC over the radio, and we would respond. Depending on the patient scenario, I would either hoist in and evacuate the patient via SKEDCO and JP, or we would evacuate them via litter. It turned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we did some hoist training. Its a skill we train on pretty regularly since hoisting the wounded out or doing rescue is a part of our job. Generally, the medic (me) rides the Jungle Penetrator down to the site on the ground to take care of business. I&#8217;ll assess the patient, make sure they [...]]]></description>
