I've see a reenlist under water with U.S. Army Divers. I've reenlisted on top of my wrecker once and again in front of the Buffalo Soldiers statue on Fort Bliss. What are some of the most unique reenlistments that you have ever seen?

A group of us got to reenlist with the USAF Thunderbirds at Eglin AFB, Florida. They were on base for an air show and were doing publicity crap. There were a bunch of us so it wasn't overly personal as experiences go but still very memorable.

Although it was a mass reenlistment, it still sounds like it was really cool.

My first re-enlistment was in an Army UH-60 over Saudi Arabia. First time I ever flew in a helicopter. As a firefighter we did one in Iraq involving fure trucks and a huge pallet fire in the background. I like the star wars theme one.

SMSgt (Join to see) if you ever want one better, give the chinooks a call. Great reenlistment stories!

Funny thing Chief. I have flown in almost every helicopter except the chinook. I have always wanted to. Can you bring one to Shaw AFB and make it happen?

SMSgt (Join to see) you are a smart man, saving the best for last! I wish I had the latitude to do a little traveling for fun, unfortunately too much training to cram into every valuable hour of flight time these days.

Chief I can only imagine. I do love the Chinooks and at times wish I would have applied for the Army Warrant Officer program to fly them.

Perhaps common place for me to whitness, but airborne aboard a CH-47. We hook them up to the internal comms so they can recite the oath as we fly them around. Had the privilege to do two reenlistment flights in the last two weeks.

That sounds really cool. Once again, one of these days I hope to get a chance to fly.

CW2 Paul Lupton that is an awesome reenlistment from start to finish. Also, a great honor to be asked to reenlist anyone, a fact not lost on you. Keep up the great work!
