Military Monitoring Recap; 15-31 October 2007

I'm finally getting caught up with these recap posts. Over the last few weeks, it seems that Hunter AAF and Fort Stewart have become a regular weekend training visit for MV-22s of the USMC's VMMT-204 (training squadron from MCAS New River). Additionally, the last two weeks of the month saw the USS Washington and TAW-2 doing carrier qualifications/training off of the GA/FL coast. Last but not least, it appears that 3-3 AVN at Hunter is receving new AH-64Ds.

For those that think I don't turn on an HF radio every now and then, check the miscellaneous section below...
