Personal Memories
Memories We headed over for what we thought would be a fun couple of weeks. During our layover in Oslo we talked to us troops heading home. They told of a horrible accident. Two helos collided with many deaths and injuries. As soon as we landed on board our OIC (Officer In Charge) was sent over to the command ship USS Mount Whitney (mount wonderful is what we called her) leaving me as the OIC. We had an international press conference scheduled in three days with the obvious distraction of the accident and memorial service. We handled that (on three hours of sleep a night. We then started Operation Northern Wedding. Did lots of flying and shooting pix. Spent some time on the ground shooting pix of the Marines landing. Left three weeks later exhausted but very happy to have been part of a great operation.
