Waitin for the Birds

This was taken
after we had successfully finished our final mission, an assault on a hill with
live ammo. It was pretty tough to be going up a hill with live ammo and lots of
gear, but we knew the cost of failure. The hill had these little green plastic
guys that would pop up for a few seconds, and we were supposed to shoot them
before they went down or we were considered dead. In the picture, we were
waiting for our first ride in a Marine helicopter to take us back to the
barracks so we could graduate.
