This is Part 2 of my interview with Army Brigadier General (Ret) Chris Petty.  After leaving the Active Duty Army in 1991, Gen Petty joined the Colorado Army National Guard and took command of C Company, 1/131st Aviation Regiment in Eagle, CO.  That unit ran the High Altitude Aviation Training Site or HAATS.  In 1994, he moved to Buckley Air National Guard Base and assumed command of A Company, 2/135th Aviation Battalion.  After getting promoted to Major in 1996, he became the Battalion Assistant S3.  After 18 months, he was reassigned to become the Deputy Commander of the Colorado Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Response Team, which was later renamed to the Civil Support Team (CST).  After two years, he left to go back to the Guard and took over as the 2/135th Battalion S3.  His next assignment was as the Headquarters Commandant of the Joint Force Headquarters of Colorado.  Later, he assumed command of 2nd Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment and in 2006, he led the Battalion's deployment to Balad, Iraq, supporting Joint Special Operations Command.

In this episode of Raven Conversations, WO1 Catherine Trujillo, a member of the 1st Battalion, 140th Aviation Regiment, C Co talks about her experience in becoming a pilot in the Washington National Guard. Regardless of the hurdles that were set in her path, she was able to overcome those obstacles in order to achieve her lifelong dream to fly. "Don't ever tell yourself that you can't, other people will tell you that enough." -WO1 Catherine Trujillo

Brown, who is eligible for a lucrative five-year supermax extension, has expressed a desire to remain with the team long-term.

On this episode I have Ken Blaisdell and this is his story. My name is Kenneth Blaisdell; I joined the Army when I was 20. I went to basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. From Basic Training, I went to Fort Rucker, Alabama for 9 weeks to learn my job as an Aviation Operation Specialist. I couldn’t have been happier; I got my dream duty station Fort Wainwright Alaska. Things couldn’t go any better; I was able to go to the one state I always wanted to explore. Shortly after getting to C Co. 1-52nd Aviation Regiment, Flying Dragons, Dustoff, I was told I would be deploying to Afghanistan in 2014 for 9 months. I ran 9-line missions while deployed, which means when someone got hurt, I would launch the crews to save the wounded, but also got to go on the missions to help the medics. I got taken out of the fight two times due to severe stomach problems from eating the local food. It’s now to the point if I eat the wrong food at the wrong time, I will become physically ill for as many as two to three weeks and end up in the hospital. I was in the United States Army until 2016, but shortly after I got back from Afghanistan was when I suffered life-altering injuries from a car accident and a sledding accident. Everything slowly unfold, I went to a walker then a wheelchair. I had broken bones in my feet, my feet were curled and bent inwards; I couldn’t walk, and my legs started to bow outwards. I could feel my bones when they broke over and over again. I waited six months at Fort Wainwright until they started the med board process. My dream of serving 20 years was crushed. 100 Seconds by Punch Deck | https://soundcloud.com/punch-deck Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
