He took it at Fort Wainwright, Alaska in 1975. I jumped on Wainwright&#8217;s airfield in January 1976. I remember that one of our medics dropped his 1911 over the drop zone and we kicked and crawled through the three feet of snow and -40 degree temperature for a few hours until, yes, we found it! It was after a nine-+-hour flight from Georgia where the temperature was about 60 degrees. Good way to get acclimated. We were there for Operation Jack Frost &#8217;76. That was a tough month. Especially since I&#8217;d enlisted in Syracuse, NY in late &#8217;74 and picked Georgia to get away from snow and cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend&#8217;s picture comes from Thunderstix.
