| Message: | I served in the 343rd Med Det (RA) from 1980-6. It was the best time of my military career. I am in an AHB now and it is nowhere as fulfilling as my Dustoff time. In my opinion dustoff crews are the best trained and motivated crews in the Army. I had the privilege of being in a unit that was, at one time, the best Dustoff unit in CONUS. |
