Rank: SFC (RET)
Name: Garry Wood
Call Sign:  
Unit(s): 57th Med Det (Hel Amb)
Time Frame: Jan 1980-Mar 1983
E-mail: DELETETHISPARTtopdoctex60331@aol.com
Message: Our unit was tasked with supporting the Mariel boatlift in 1980. We also supported ops in Florida Eglin AFB. I have almost 450 flight hours and 237 missions. We were a part of the MAST program so we went to roadside pickups, neonatal transfers, etc. I was with the 57th when we were the first Dust Off unit that transitioned into the UH-60 Blackhawk.

I also had the distinction and honor of briefing the Command Sergeant of the United States Army.

Thanks for listening but those flight hours were some of the best, fulfilling and exciting time I had in 22 years on active duty.

Call Sign:  
Unit(s): 57th Med Det, Ft. Bragg N.C.
Time Frame: 1980-1983
E-mail: DELETETHISPARTtopdoctex60331@aol.com
Message: I flew over 268 missions. Some were on Bragg but a large portion of my 400 + hours was spent flying into UNC Chapel Hill or Raleigh Durahm Med Centers. We had cardiac monitors (albeit a life pac 5) and an isollett for premature infants. I also spent 94 days at Ft. Indian Town Gap on Operation Mariel Boat Lift. I assisted inside the wire and helped quell the riots. I flew missions associated with the North Carolina Military Assistance to Safety and Traffic. I was sorry to see my old unit was merged with another, because I am very proud to have flown with THE ORIGINAL DUSTOFF!!

Call Sign:  
Unit(s): 254th Medical Battalion
Time Frame: December 1967-June 1968
E-mail: DELETETHISPARTticonderoga2020@yahoo.com
Message: I do not remember much about who I flew with, but I know the crew we had was awesome and very blessed. I was with DUSTOFF with the 254th Medical Battalion at the Army Hospital in Nha Trang, South Vietnam from December 1967 to about June 1968 and then was transferred to Tuy Hoa at the only civilian war casualties hospital. I heard that our crew/chopper were shot down after I left and that the co-pilot was left either paralyzed or crippled. If you know anybody serving at that time in 'nam with this unit, please let me know ASAP. I was proud to serve with you guys if any of you remember me.
