The background and meaning
The “HeloBubbas” is an outgrowth of the Naval Message Board E-Mail List on YahooGroups. The “Naval Message Board” was a small group of retired and former Naval Officers who were Naval Aviators with rotary wing roots, which had expanded over the years to include some active duty members as well as a cross section of sister service former and retired officers (Marine Corps, Air Force & Army), including allied foreign services from a variety of warfare communities. The “Helo Bubbas” will continue its history of being open to all warfare communities, including our sister services and foreign allies.
The “Helo Bubbas” offers the opportunity for list members to comment about topical materials shared on the “Helo Bubbas E-Mail List” by the list members or not. Appropriate topics for the “Helo Bubbas” include the Naval Service and sister service issues associated with the military, warfare, equipment, people, intelligence, political (issues related to military), foreign military services, as well as actions and activities of foreign powers as they might affect the US military and their allies. The “Helo Bubbas” is a closed and moderated discussion group. Current members were on the former Naval Message board. New members are invited by existing members of the “Helo Bubbas” list or may request to join directly to the moderators of the Helo Bubbas. Members need only refer potential new members on their recommendation to the “Helo Bubbas” moderator for an invitation to join the group or use the sign in information on the Naval Helicopter Association Historical Society website. Existing members can leave the “Helo Bubbas List” at any time using normal list procedures or by sending a note to the moderator.
The moderator for the “Helo Bubbas” is CDR Michael G. Brattland, USN (Ret.), mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com retiredaffairsr@navalhelicopterassn.org
