I suspect intervention from above. When I arrived for the first tour I was a certified UH-1 IP/Gunnery IP. They put me in scouts. Arrived for the 2d tour I was a instrument IP and certified to act as a squadron level safety officer. They put me in scouts again. Later on when with B1/9th Cav I was signed off as an OH-6 IP, so they transferred me to a Huey company. Go figure....

I am..........disturbed.
