Paratrooper Hale home from Afghanistan

By Dorreen Yellow Bird, press secretary

PFC Johnny Hale returned to Mandaree after 5 months in Afghanistan.  Hale is a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division.

He will return to Afghanistan for another 6 months in February and says he will probably re-enlist and maybe make the Army his career, Hale said.

Afghanistan, Hale says, is a hot and dusty place, but the people there treat them really good.  “They’re just people trying to make a living,” he said. 

Before enlisting in the Army, he helped built the Four Bears Bridge then worked in the oil fields. 

Hale is married to Brittney (Rabbit Head of Parshall) and they have two children Tristin, 2 years old and Kenny, 11 months.  He is the son of Gerald and Roberta Hale of Mandaree.
