Good DCC in SSGT Dave Greer.. only thing he cared about was how clean it was .. if it broke more time to clean so when it did fly that mofo was blingin. Ohh yeah this piece of crap had a problem blowing starts all the time .. the 4 yrs i was there i don't think it made it 3 months w/o a problem with starts and i mean replacing shit not pumping the damn thing up.
