Thanks Doc for Woody's email address.  I was also down there in KeyWest  (61-64)  aboard the USS PENGUIN ASR 12.   Used to a lot of sport diving with Shorty Lions (UWSS) and MDV Joe Tallerico.   Joe died and have'nt heard about Shorty for years.

James LaVore (SEAL) Vietnam Photo Album       From:James LaVore   To: Doc Riojas  Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008  Subject: Kuwait flights. (hey Doc, what do you think of this one? Jim)                               Subject: Kuwait flights...   This was taken when I talked one of the Marines into bringing his "SAW" to the cockpit, back in the early days when we were flying them into Kuwait. Flying the B-747-400 then. The Marines carried all of their main weapons and side arms? onboard in the cabin, plus additional ammo in the airplane belly along with their kit bags. They weren't sure that they wouldn't come under attack after we landed there when all this started. They did grab a suspected sniper from the terminal area though. I volunteered to fly all of the "craf" flights where the airlines operated like military aircraft. They were called "craf" flights in time of war as it was in the beginning of the flights to Kuwait and later dubbed "military charters" when the conflict appeared less hazardous to our operations. I asked the Marine if I could take one home with me, but he said he would be needing it for awhile, maybe on the way back.  Jim LaVore

   

Injured SEAL gets help for future                               John Leptich, Tribune Columnist    August 2, 2007 - 3:10AM Despite losing sight in both eyes to a sniper’s bullet a year ago today in Iraq, former Navy SEAL Ryan Job isn’t into self-pity. Nor does he expect sympathy from others. “This is just something that happened to me,” Job said. “I can’t change it. What are you going to do, stop living? It just made me take a different approach. I had goals and plans that had to change.” A single bullet took Job’s right eye, damaged his optic nerve and wiped out his dream of becoming a commercial pilot. But it didn’t damage his mind, attitude, drive and spirit. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/94331   go here for the rest of the story.
